leaf-mould, and peat, with an admixture of sand. There

“ It may be also grown in pots, or wide, shallow pans, 
in the same compost. It must be potted firmly, with a 
good drainage, and requires a good supply of water. It 
may be propagated by division, or by the fructification, 
to be treated in the same way as directed for former 
genera. It will be as well to give both these Ferns a 
slight protection in winter when cultivated in pots. 
Each will thrive well in the greenhouse.”
