The culture of the Maidenhair, one of the loveliest of our native 
species, is attended with hut little success out of doors, except in 
sheltered situations near the sea-level on our west coast. But so 
exquisite a fern is well deserving of a place in the greenhouse. Let 
it have a damp corner there; and give it, for compost, fibrous peat 
in large proportion, some loam, leaf -mould thoroughly decayed , and 
abundance of fine sand. The Adiantum is well known to be ever- 
green. It may be suspended in a basket or cocoa-nut husk. In 
planting be careful to drain well: a few small fragments of sand- 
stone or limestone may be introduced into the compost. 
Allosorus Bernh. (Pteris, Cryptogramma.) 
5 crispus Bernh. — Mountain Parsley Fern 0 6 
This small- growing, parsley -like, deciduous fern, as widely admired 
as it is widely known, may be planted in a compost of loam and peat, 
with broken slate-rock intermixed ( no lime ). It is especially 
eligible for a moist nook of the rockery, in or out of doors.
