Hardy Ferns 
Valuable for planting in shady, moist situations 
and under trees where blooming plants will not 
thrive. As a rule they should be grown in a moist, 
shady and protected place, in a soil composed of 
rich loam and leaf mold. Adiantums and Scolo- 
pendriums grow about a foot in height. The Os- 
mu ndas are very large, vigorous-growing species, 
with rather coarse but highly ornamental foliage, 
requiring a deeply dug, well-enriched soil, where 
they may be grown in shade or full sunlight. In 
wet swamps they grow to great size, sometimes 
attaining a height of 6 to 8 feet.
