List of Ferns fob, planting out in a Greenhouse 

 Fernery : 



Large Growing Ferns. — Woodwardia radicans and 

 W. orientalis. Plant these about five feet above the 

 ground, that their drooping fronds may be seen to advan- 

 tage. Cyrtomium falcatum, a rigid grower, often and 

 appropriately called " the laurel fern." Onoclea sensi- 

 bilis, suitable for a cool damp nook on the ground line, 

 as it is an upright grower ; under glass it is a magnificent 

 fern. Lomaria chilense, a rigid habited fern with bold 

 dark green fronds. Pteris fiabellata, grand pectinate 

 fronds, of a vivid light green colour, suitable for a shelf 

 or bank three or four feet above the ground. Pteris 

 cretica albo-lineata, an upright grower, spreads freely 

 at bottom. Phlebodium sporodocarpum requires a well- 

 drained elevated ledge, from whence it will put forth 

 masses of tawny roots and handsome glaucous fronds. 

 Polystichum acrostichoides, a bold habit, and a good 

 companion to Lomaria chilense. Lomaria magellanica, 

 Lastrea intermedia, L. frondosa, L. Sieboldii, Asplenium 

 angustifolium, Adiantum pedatum, Athyrium asplenioides, 

 A. tenuifrons, A. filix-fcemina v. corymbiferum.
