Hardy Ferns and Flowers 

 for Dark Shady Places 



NO corner is so shady but that certain hardy ferns and 

 flowers will thrive there. There is no soil so light 

 and sandy but that some of these plants will beautify it. 

 For 25 years we have been growing these hardy ferns and 

 flowers and know something of the conditions necessary 

 to their growth. Have you a shady nook, a bit of wood- 

 land path, a brook or swampy spot, or a rocky hillside 

 you wish to re-establish and grace with ferns and flowers 

 and rhododendrons and so bring out the natural charms ? 

 Do you wish the little wooded path bordered with bright 

 hepaticas, bloodroots, trilliums, wood-violets and dainty 

 yet hardy ferns; or the low marshy place brightened with 

 , brilliant lobelias, yellow marsh-marigolds and bright blue 

 gentians ? We are in a position to help you, and shall be 

 glad to send our descriptive catalogue which may aid you 

 in selecting. Pictures of some of these wild wood plants 

 have been taken by us here and are shown by half-tones 

 in the catalogue, including the clump shown in this ad of 

 Aspidium Goldianum and Asplenium Angustifolium.
