FERNS
These beautiful and graceful plants now occupy first place among decorative
plants. They are unsurpassed for either parlor or conservatory decoration, and noth-
ing gives a touch of refinement to a porch or sun parlor that a well finished Fern
does. The Nephrolepsis family, of which the well-known Boston and its descend-
ants are members, and of a strong, healt by nature and succeed well under ordinary
care. Fine exhibition specimens can be grown in the home.
BOSTON — Nephrolepsis Exhaltate Bos-
toniensis, is a rapid grower of easy cul-
ture, soon forming fine graceful plants,
its beautiful broad fronds often obtain
length of five feet, they droop grace-
fully, completely hiding the pot or jar-
diniere. No plant ever introduced has
had a larger sale or held its position in
popular favor like the Boston fern.
4-inch $0.50 5-inch $1.00 6-inch $1.50
Large specimens 8- and 10-inch $10.00
to $15.00 each.
SCOTTII — The fronds are broad and
beautifully tapered from base to tip.
They droop just enough to make a
shapely graceful plant and to finish with
a nice full centre. It is such a compact
vigorous grower that it thrives well
under rather adverse conditions, pro-
ducing a plant of rare beauty and per-
fection, indispensable for dining-room
or library, or places in the home where
room is somewhat limited.
4-inch $0.50 5-inch $1.00 6-inch $1.50
Large specimens 8- and 10-inch $10.00
MACAW11 — A sport from Scottii, retaining
all its commendable qualities. It has
fronds like the Scottii, stand erect, bend-
ing gracefully as they get fully devel-
oped. The pinnaes are somewhat curled
and twisted, giving it somewhat the ap-
pearance of a crested Fern. The color
is a deep green, the new fronds being-
light green, giving the plant a fivsh ap-
pearance. One of the hardest of the
Boston type. 4-inch, $0.50 each.
CORDETTA COMPACTA— This is better
known as the sword plant, its fronds are
rather more narrow than the Scottii and
stand erect more than drooping. They
are dark holly green and have the strong-
est constitution of any of the decorative
ferns, will last longer and keep better
than any other kind, in fact many people
who through adverse conditions have
difficulty in growing the Boston type
succeed well with this.
4-inch $0.50 5-inch $1.00 6-inch $1.50
WHITMAN11 — The Ostrich Plume fern is
a sport from the Boston fern. The
ends of the pinnaes which overlap on
the heavy fronds are sub-divided and
twisted, giving it an attractive, airy and
feathery appearance.
4-inch $0.50 5-inch $1.00 6-inch $1.50
HOLLY FERNS — Cyrtonun Rockfordiaum
— This is one of the most beautiful
ferns to use either as a small plant for
table decoration, or to grow into speci-
men plants. Its foliage is dark glossy
green, in shape and color very much re-
sembling the holly foliage. They are
used extensively for table decorations
at Christmas time, with sprays of ber-
ried holly stuck in the pans.

One of the best bedding plants, as they can be depended on to bloom continu-
ally during the summer. The blue varieties are particularly valuable on account of
a scarcity of this color among our bedding plants; also very satisfactory as a pot
plant, the best results being obtained when the plants have become pot-bound. They
should be started early enough to be headed hack to make them bushy.

line in recent years, that is a blue, a decided blue, that would be continually in bloom.
In our trial grounds last summer “Fraserii” attracted more attention than any other
bedding plant. It only grew about eight to ten inches high and was covered the entire
summer with what can easily be classed as immense truss of flowers, as many of
them were over two and one-half inches across, while the individual flower would be
seven-eighths of an inch in diameter. The plant spread about twelve to fifteen
inches across. It can very easily be used with Alternantheras as a border plant.
Being an early bloomer and dwarf, compact grower, it makes an excellent pot
plant.

DAHLIAS
The prices quoted are for strong pot-grown plants, which many experienced
growers of the finest grade of cut flowers prefer to roots, claiming that they pro-
duce a far superior grade of flowers.
The time of planting depends on the location, usually about the time that the
vegetables are being planted. For Maryland and vincinity we suggest May 20th to
June 20th as the proper time.

GERANIUMS
We have no hesitation in claiming that our selection of Standard sorts stands
preeminent among such collections in the world, it contains only distinct and use-
ful varieties and is the result of the most careful selection of hundreds of varieties
introduced by the foremost European and American hybridizers. We have listed
only those sorts which years of experience in growing and selling Geraniums has
taught us are the very best in their different classes, such as can be depended on to
produce the most satisfactory results and which represents the highest standard of
development yet obtained in their special class and color.
In keeping this list up to this high standard we are constantly adding many of
the newer sorts and discarding some of the old sorts which have been favorites but
are now superseded by others which are more beautiful in form, greater in substance,
more exquisite in color and more satisfactory in growth.
