CHOICE HARDY FERNS. 



Suitable positions for Hardy Ferns are to be found in almost 

 every garden. With few exceptions they do best in a shady or 

 semi-shady position in rich but well-drained soil, where they can 

 be liberally supplied with water during dry weather. Where 

 the soil is stiff or clayey, incorporate a liberal quantity of leaf- 

 mould, peat or other loose material to make friable. 



Varieties marked * require a shady position. Those 

 marked f succeed in the sun or half shade. We give after 

 each variety the average height of growtJi in inches.
