Fifty Select Greenhouse Ferns . 
Ill 
Nephrolepis tuberosa is the only one of this splendid 
family I can recommend for the greenhouse, though 
they are all classed as greenhouse ferns in trade cata¬ 
logues. This, however, is so distinct, that you must 
have it if you buy only a dozen. 
Onychium Japonicum , a delicate fennel-like fern. 
fragile, fairy like, yet nearly hardy, and always in 
health, if thoroughly shaded. 
Platyloma rotundifolia , very distinct and fine when 
in fruit. It must have deep shade.
