FINE FERNS. 



The popularity of Ferns has increased wonderfully in recent 

 years. In less than 10 years our annual sales have increased from 

 a few thousand plants to nearly one million, requiring over one 

 acre of greenhouse space for their production. Not only are they 

 now grown for interior decoration, but beautiful effects can be 

 produced iu the open border, in conjunction with other folia '' 

 plants, in such positions where they are shaded from the direct 

 rays of the sun, and where they can be liberally supplied with 

 water. We have marked the varieties best suited for this purpose 

 with an asterisk (*).
