CHOICE HARDY 
FERNS 
Suitable positions for Hardy 
Ferns are to be found in almost 
every garden. With few excep- 
tions they do best in a shady or 
semi-shady position in rich well- 
drained soil, where they can be 
liberally supplied with water dur- 
ing dry weather. Where the soil 
is stiff or clayey, incorporate a 
liberal quantity of leaf-mould, 
peat or other loose material to 
make it friable. 
Varieties marked * require 
a shady position. Those 
marked + succeed in the sun or half-shade. We give 
after each variety the average height of growth in inches.
