The popularity of Ferns has increased wonderfully in recent years. In less than 10 years 

 our annual sales have increased from a few thousand plants to over one million, requiring 

 one acre of greenhouse space for their production. Not only are they now grown for 

 interior decoration, but beautiful effects can be produced in the open border, in conjunction 

 with other foliage plants, in such positions where they are shaded from the direct rays of the 

 sun, and where they can be liberally supplied with water. We have marked the varieties 

 best suited for this purpose with an asterisk (*).
