Lady Fern 
Leathery Wood Fern (dryopteris marginale)—RS— 
The principal cultural requisite is shade. Thrives well even in Pine 
and Hemlock groves and on rocky hill-siides. The leathery fronds are 
of a dark bue-green color. Grows 12 to 30 in. in height. Its natural 
associates are Jack-in-the-pulpit, Wood Anemone, Hepatica and even 
yellow Lady Slipper. Each 20c; 3 for 50c; 10 for $1.25—Prepaid each 30c; 
3 for 75c; 10 for $1.75. 
Maidenhair Spleenwort (asplenium tricomanus)— R— 
A small rock fern, 4 to 10 inches with purplish-brown shiny stalks. 
Each 35c—Prepaid each 50c. 
Marsh Fern (dryopteris thelypteris)—M— 
The Marsh Fern seems to flourish equally well in sub-acid or neutral 
soil and also to be indifferent to sun or shade. The root should be 
covered with not more than one-half inch of leaf-mold, muck or pulver¬ 
ized peat. Each 20c; 3 for 50c; 10 for $1.25—Prepaid each 30c, 3 for 75c; 
10 for $1.75. 
Ostrich Fern—(pteris nodulosa)—RS— 
This magnificant fern has been called “The Palm of the North.” The 
fronds, six to ten inches wide, grow from a crown to a height of three 
to five feet. A very erect and handsome species. This large, graceful 
plant luxuriates in good soil subject to annual overflow. The vase-like 
fronds suggest the Lady Fern, but the fertile fronds are dark green and 
it is also the tallest growing of our ferns. If planted in moist light 
soil and well mulched with peat or leaf-mold, it will multiply by under¬ 
ground runners. Each 20c; 3 for 50c; 10 for $1.25—Prepaid each 30c; 
3 for 75c; 10 for $1.75.
