Ferns ce 
No collection of plants is complete without Ferns, 
The selection we offer embraces the best varieties of this beauti- 
ful class of plants, whose diyersity and gracefulness of foliage make them peculiarly fitted to combine with other 
fine plants and flowers. 
The popularity of Ferns has increased wonderfully in the past few years, and they are now indispensable in all 
choice floral decorations, and are especially valued for ferneries for room and table decoration. : 
Where there is moisture and shade most of the varieties succeed well when planted out-of-doors ; they delight in a 
light soil mixed with sand and peat or leaf-mould; good drainage must be provided, as stagnant water is fatal to 
success,
