Large Growing Ferns. — Woodwardia radicans and

ground, that their drooping fronds may be seen to advan- 
tage. Cyrtomium falcatum, a rigid grower, often and 
appropriately called “ the laurel fern/' Onoclea sensi - 
bills , suitable for a cool damp nook on the ground line, 
as it is an upright grower ; under glass it is a magnificent 
fern. Lomaria chilense , a rigid habited fern with bold 
dark green fronds. Pteris flabellata , grand pectinate 
fronds, of a vivid light green colour, suitable for a shelf 
or bank three or four feet above the ground. Pteris 
cretica albo-lineata , an upright grower, spreads freely 
at bottom. Phlebodium sporodocarpum requires a well- 
drained elevated ledge, from whence it will put forth 
masses of tawny roots and handsome glaucous fronds.
