Adiantum pedatum. (See page 39.) 
ASPLENIUM augustifolium. Spleenwort. A fine, 
tall Spleenwort, growing in moist ravines, and 
often 3 feet high. Needs shade and a moist, 
rich soil. N., 12 cts. each, $1.25 per doz.; P., 
15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. 
A. platyneuron (A. ebeneum). Usually 9 to 15 
inches high when fairly established. A fine lit¬ 
tle Fern, with narrow evergreen fronds, found 
on rocky soil. N., 10 cts. each, $1 per doz.; 
P., 12 cts. each, $1.10 per doz. 
A. Felix-foemina. Lady Fern. Has a larger num¬ 
ber of cultivated forms in Europe than any of 
our common Ferns. One to 3 feet high, with 
fine, delicate fronds, and very hardy. Shade or 
sun are alike congenial, if soil is sufficiently rich 
and moist. N., 15 cts. each, $1.15 per doz.; P., 
18 cts. each, $1.35 per doz. 
A. thelypteroides. Silver Spleenwort. Attains a 
height of 3 feet, and has fronds 3 to 5 inches 
wide. It is one of the Ferns which grow alone 
if in good, moist soil. N., 12 cts. each, $1 
per doz.; P., 15 cts. each, $1.10 per doz. 
A. Trichomanes. A low, delicate little Fern, 3 to 
5 inches high, growing in dense tufts. Well 
suited to sheltered pockets of the rockery. N., 
15 cts. each; P., 18 cts. each. 
CAMPT0S0RUS rhizophyllus. Walking Leaf. Is 
found on the margins of shaded cliffs or rocks, 
where the leaf-mold has formed a good black 
soil, and is always shaded. Where such loca- 
Camptosorus rhizophyllus, continued. 
tions can be imitated, it is a good plant. Fine 
strong clumps. N., 15 cts. each, $1.10 per doz.; 
P., 17 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. 
CHEILANTHES lanosa (C . vestita). A nice little Fern 
for rockwork. Six to 15 inches high. N., 15 cts. 
each; P., 17 cts. each. 
CRYPT0GRAMMA acrostichoides. Rock Brake. A 
low Fern 4 to 8 inches high, with straw-colored 
fronds. N., 12 cts. each, $1 per doz.; P., 14 cts. 
each, $1.10 per doz.

are not rarely 2 feet long, but quite narrow. It 
is widest at the bottom and tapers to a narrow 
point at the top. N., 10 cts. each, $1 per doz.; 
P., 11 cts. each, $1.10 per doz. 
C. fragilis. Brittle Fern. A very frail little 
Fern, common on the face of dry cliffs. N., 
10 cts. each; P., 11 cts. each. 
DENNSTAEDT1A punctilobula ( Dick sonia pilosiiis- 
cula ). Hay-scented Fern. Very abundant in 
the mountain pastures of New England. Deli¬ 
cate and easy of culture, it is one of the best. 
N., 15 cts. each, $1 per doz.; P., 18 cts. each, 
$1.25 per doz. 
DRY0PTERIS Boottii (Aspidium Boottii). I have a 
good opinion of this Fern as one to be depended 
upon in more varieties of soil than most species. 
It is a handsome plant, and attains 2 feet or 
more when in good, moist soil. N., 15 cts. each; 
P., 18 cts. each. 
D. cristata (Aspidium cristatum). A small, nar- 
row-fronded plant which grows in moist mead¬ 
ows and swamps, but more commonly 7 around 
old stumps and decayed trees in open meadows 
and pastures. It makes one of the best plants 
in cultivation. N., 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz.; 
P., 16 cts. each, $1.35 per doz.
