Fern, Aspidium Angulare 
Polyp^amm vulgare. 
' V do not offer the different varieties of 
Ferns separate , but rur packets of fifty species mixed 
are so many sorts, varying so widely in habit, that to 
give explicit directions for the culture of each, would 
require a vo!v. nc of itself. Asa general rule they should 
be kept in a warm. • umid atmosphere, and watered 
abundantly. The soil best adapted to their growth is 
turfy, fibrous peat, mixed with sand and leaf mold, and 
underlain with pieces of broken crock. Many of the 
most beautiful sorts are propagated from seed only. 
Their exceeding grace and beauty will well repay all 
care bestowed upon them.
