^HARDY FERNS 



The cultivation of Hardy Ferns is very simple. All they re- 

 quire is a Ught alluvial soil, a little loam and peat or leaf-mould, 

 just enough to keep the soil light and open, with plenty of mois- 

 ture. A shady position, useless for the cultivation of other plants, 

 is easily transformed into a hardy fernery.
