COMPOST FOR VARIOUS GENERA, 
Growing in Pots, Pans, or Baskets. 
BoTRYCHIUM. OPHIOGLOSSUM. 
>si|HE British species of these genera grow in 
i} meadows in pure loam, therefore they simply 
require fibrous loam. When these are being 
collected from their native homes, they should 
be taken up with a piece of the grass sod in which they 
are growing, as they are difficult to establish if their 
roots are disturbed. The exotic species should be potted 
in equal parts of loam and peat. 
ADIANTUM. 
Fibrous loam, leaf mould, and sand, in equal quan- 
tities. Adiantum Farleyense frequently fails to grow 
satisfactorily, owing to having peat in its compost. 
Some of the strong-growing species may do with a little, 
but all are better without it. . 
ADIANTOPSIS. ANEMIDICTYON, 
AGLAOMORPHA. ANGIOPTERIS, 
ALEURITOPTERIS. ARTHROPTERIS, 
ALSOPHILA, ASPIDIUM. 
ANEMIA, ATHYRIUM.
