open sun where the ground is extreme- 

 ly dry. The Aspldium thelypteriB 

 (marsh shield fern) if planted in the 

 open sun should be given a moist lo- 

 cation. This fern is light green in 

 color and should be planted in masses 

 in order to produce much of an effect. 

 It grows to a height of from twelve to 

 eighteen inches according to the soil 

 and moisture conditions. For a large, 

 rank growing variety the Onoclea 

 struthlopteris (Ostrich fern) is one 

 oi the very best. This will grow in 

 the open sun in ordinary garden soil 

 where there is an ordinary amount of 

 moisture present. This fern should be 

 planted in colonies, the individual 

 roots being planted once in eight or 

 nine inches. The fronds are so long 

 that wind storms are apt to break 

 them unless they are planted close 

 enough to protect one another. 



This variety is also especially de- 

 sirable for planting in shady places 

 where the ground is a little low and 

 where a tall, massed effect Is desired. 

 The Dicksonia punctilobula will also 

 grow in the open sun. This fern, for 

 massed effects, is the very best for 

 sunny locations. It spreads quite rap- 

 idly from underground root stalks 

 and if it is planted rather thick will, 

 in a few years, form a dense mass. 

 While this fern thrives very well In 

 dry places It will make larger growth 

 if planted where there is an average 

 amount of moisture present. The As- 

 pldium acrostichoides grows in the 

 open sun where there is a good mois- 

 ture condition. However, this, as well 

 as any other evergreen fern, loses 

 somewhat the beauty of its foliage 

 when exposed to the direct rays of 

 the sun. 



The Useful Bladder Fern. 



The Cystopteris bulbifera (bladder 

 fern) is a sort that should be used 

 much more than it is at the present 

 time since it can be planted under a 

 wide range of conditions and for a 

 number of purposes. This variety 

 grows beautifully In the open sun in 

 moist places. It is especially effective 

 when planted in masses on moist 

 banks, along the edges of shaded 

 walks or along the edge of a small 

 stream where a low, light green carpet 

 effect is desired. The general habit of 

 this fern is to creep yet the new fronds 

 stand upright. When grown under 

 favorable conditions the fronds at- 

 tain a length of nearly three feet, the 

 ends of the fronds dropping to the 

 ground. It is extremely graceful in Its 

 habit; the color being light green 

 forms extremely pleasing carpet ef- 

 fects when planted in masses. This 

 fern develops fine plants when planted 

 as specimens in rockerieB.
