CHOICE HARDY FERNS 



Suitable positions for Hardy Ferns are to be found in almost every gar- 

 den. With few exceptions they do best in a shady or semi-shady position 

 in rich well-drained soil, where they can be liberally supplied with water 

 during dry weather. Where the soil is. stiff or clayey, incorporate a lib- 

 eral quantity of leaf-mould, peat or other loose material to make it friable.
