A LIST OF FOREIGN FERNS WHICH HAVE STOOD THE OPEN AIR 

 OF THIS COUNTRY IN NOTTINGHAMSHIRE DURING THE 

 WINTER OF 1836 and 1837. 



BY J. R. 



Agreeable to my promise of last year I forward you a list of 

 Foreign Ferns which having stood the winter of 1836-7 out of 

 doors may lay some claim to be considered hardy — they having 

 had only the protection of fallen leaves, and to prevent the 

 blowing away of which a few spruce fir boughs were pricked in 

 the ground around the plants. 



If others of your correspondents have made similar trials, I 

 hope they will favour your readers with the result, and indeed 

 any remarks on Ferns, from them will be acceptable, especially 

 as I am aware that with some of your readers in the south and 

 west of England, Ferns are cultivated.
