Large clumpy plants which are easy to grow. 
Plant in light soil with a little loam and leaf 
mould worked in. A mulch of old leaves and 
plenty of moisture helps, too. 
An ideal spot for your fernery is a place 
where no sun penetrates. They’ll thrive on the 
north side of your house along the foundation, 
too. Plant them deep enough so they’re well 
covered, and set 8 to 10 inches apart. 
OSTRICH. An erect grower with long graceful 
green plumes. 
GOLDIE’S. An arching and spreading type. A 
vigorous grower. 
MAIDENHAIR. Considered one of the rarest ] 
of ferns. The stems are black and the foli- J 
age is an attractive rich green.
