Hardy Ferns 
Hardy Ferns do well in shady and half-shady 
places in the garden and park, and are often useful 
for growing close to houses, in corners which are too 
dark for most plants. Ferns do best in light soils 
containing much vegetable matter, so it is always 
best to work a considerable amount of leaf mould 
into the soil of a fern bed. The common notion that 
Ferns require wet or almost swampy conditions is not 
well founded, as they will do nicely under ordinary 
garden treatment in the matter of moisture.
