Wardian Case. A nearly air-tight case with glass sides and top, used for transporting growing plants on long sea voyages, invented about 1836 by N. B. Ward, who wrote a book of ninety-five pages "On the Growth of Plants in Closely Glazed Cases," published at London in 1842. It provides the best and safest method of transporting potted and living plants across the ocean, as it insures the necessary light, protects the plants from salt spray and foul gases, and requires a minimum of care, as the plants need no watering. Such cases maintain nearly uniform conditions of temperature, moisture, and atmosphere. Similar cases are used in greenhouses for growing filmy ferns, dwarf foliage plants, and other small specimens that require a very moist and close atmosphere and invariable conditions.
