104 A LITTLE GARDEN THE YEAR ROUND 



among the best to select: For Potting: Adia- 

 tum Pedatum, Asplenium cristatum, Polypo- 

 dium vulgare cambricum, Pteris scaberula, 

 Scolopendrium vulgare erispum, Woodwardia 

 radicans and Woodsia ilvensis. For Baskets: 

 Polystichum angulare, P. angulare prolifermn, 

 Woodwardia radicans and Asplenium filix- 

 foemina corybiferum. For Wall Grow- 

 ing: Asplenium marinum, Polypodium vul- 

 gare, Polystichum aculeatum and Scolopen- 

 drium. Of course, there are many other varie- 

 ties, but these few will be more than enough for 

 the amateur indoor gardener. For ordinary 

 room windows nearly all of the Ferns men- 

 tioned will prove successful, but the following 

 are especially recommended for indoor window 

 gardens, Polypodivmi aureum, Asplenium bul- 

 biferum, Nephrodium moUe, Cyrtomium fal- 

 catum, Pteris cretica, Scolopendrium vulgare 

 erispum, Pteris tremula, Polystichum angulare 

 and Pteris cretica nobilis. There are few 

 plants for indoors that give as much pleasure 

 to the amateur as do Ferns, when one is careful 

 to see that they are cleanly potted and in well 

 drained pots.
