Choice Hardy Ferns 



Suitable positions for Hardy Ferns are to be found in almost every garden. 

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

 well-drained soil, where they can be liberaUy supplied with water during dry 

 weather. Where the soil is stiff or clayey, incorporate a liberal quantity of 

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