ent. For massing in the 
garden or on the lawn, 
to trail over stones or ! 
stumpsor in fact for any 
sort of decoration it is

valuable for pots, baskets, vases, or the garden. 25c. each, 
walking Fern, a very rare and curious hardy fern, suitable 
either for not or open ground culture. It is known us the 
‘Walking” Fern from the fact that its leaves run out to 
a long slender point, which strikes in the ground and 
takes root, a new plant springing up and in like manner 
establishing another plant a foot or more away. In this 
way they will walk quite a distance in the course of a 
season. 25c. each.

these two Ferns.
