HARDY FERNS SUITABLE FOR ROCK GARDENS AND THE 
ALPINE HOUSE. 
The following is but a small selection of the immense 
range of graceful, elegant ferns that might well engage 
our attention and form a special study. The collection 
and cultivation of hardy ferns is indeed a delightful and 
engrossing hobby. Many ferns delight in a moist shady 
situation with peaty soil, but it is a mistaken idea that 
all ferns must have peat, shade and continuous moisture, 
indeed some will thrive better on a dry stone wall, and 
some seek the sunshine rather than the shade. For the 
guidance of the beginner, I have divided the list into two 
sections : shade-loving, and sun-loving.
