FERNS — We have divided the Ferns into 
two sections; those which require very 
little, if any shade, and those which are 
true shade lovers. 
Dwarf Rock Ferns — The species listed be¬ 
low require very little shade, unless 
otherwise noted, and will thrive with 
very little moisture after June once they 
have become established. But they do 
require a very well-drained, stony soil, 
with plenty of leaf mold or peat and silt, 
and if possible should be planted so that 
the roots will be protected from the hot 
summer sun by burying the roots under 
a partly submerged rock. We advise 
planting these in spring if possible, and 
not later than end of October in fall. 
*A. platyneuron — (Ebony Spleenwort) Nar¬ 
row, black-stemmed fronds, 6 to 10 inches 
long. 35c each. 
*A. trichomanes — (Maiden-Hair Spleen- 
wort) Fronds densely clustered, 8 inches 
long and about one inch wide. 25c each. 
*Cheilanthes alabamensis — A very rare 
species from Alabama with short, dainty 
fronds. Requires a northern or eastern 
exposure. 75c each. 
*C. californica — Somewhat more robust 
and taller growing than C. gracillima. 6 
inches. 50c each.
