The culture of the Maiden-hair, one of the loveliest of our native 
species, is attended with but 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 evergreen. It may be suspended 
in a basket or cocoa-nut husk. In planting be careful to drain well: 
afeiv small fragments of sandstone or limestone may be introduced into 
the compost. 
Allosorus Bernh. (Pteris, Cryptogramma.) 
3 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.
