For That Rocky Ledgt 
In nearly every garden there are 
some difficult to handle situations. It 
may be an unpromising outcropping of 
rock, or a gravelly spot, or one inclined 
to be swampy—in nine cases out of ten 
these very places may be transformed 
into beautiful spots with the help of 
wild fern or flowers. 
Here is shown the lovely Maiden¬ 
hair Fern (Adiantum pedatum) nestl¬ 
ing contentedly among rocky crevices. 
Scores of ferns are available, for both 
dry and moist situations. I believe 
I can supply nearly every worth while 
sort. 
Larger Plants 
for Larger Gardens 
Hardy ferns and wild flowers have 
been my specialty for years. Of late I 
have also added the more impressive 
forms of wild plants, such flowering, 
broad-leaved evergreen shrubs as Lau¬ 
rels, Rhododendrons, etc. Their cul¬ 
tivated cousins, the Azaleas are avail¬ 
able, too, and in some instances in 
quantities to supply carload lots. Bv 
special culture these evergreen shrubs 
and Azaleas have been given such 
sturdy, fibrous rooting system as to 
make their transplanting to your 
grouds a 100% safe proposition.
