ONE OF THE SPLENDID EVERGREEN FERNS— POLYSTICHUM ACROSTICHOIDES 
Which it should be to support its name, though when we call it the Christmas Fern it is 
itself as familiar as are its long fronds, lavishly used by florists to accompany cut flowers 
MOST VARIABLE OF ALL FERNS IS THE LADY FERN 
It hardly seems gallant to add that though beautiful in some 
forms this is an aggressive type not meriting the highest praise 
THE CINNAMON FERN IS REGAL IN CHARACTER 
Growing as tall as Clinton's Wood-fern this loves the moist and 
shady places which we commonly associate with ferny growth
