■»iF6RNS.i^ 



We make a specialty of Ferns, and can supply the leading kinds in quantity at all seasons. Our collection em- 

 braces the best varieties of this beautiful class of plants, whose diversity and gracefulness of foliage make them much 

 valued for Wardian Cases and Ferneries. Where there is moisture and shade the stronger varieties succeed well when 

 planted on rock-work out of doors. A light soil mixed with bone-dust, sand and peat will be found the best for 

 Ferns. Good drainage must be i)rovided, as stagnant water is fatal to success.
