FINE FERNS. 



No collection of plants is complete without Ferns. The selection we offer embraces the best varieties of this beautiful class 

 of plants, whose diversity 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.
