D. Goldieana (Aspidium Goldianum) . Not rarely

cut specimens will keep a long time. Nice for 
rockery or shaded slopes, or, in fact, for any 
place where it may be grown. N., 12 cts. each, 
$1 per doz.; P., 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. 
D. Noveboracensis (Aspidium Noveboracense) . Of

D. spinulosa (Aspidium spinulosum) and its variety 
intermedia make fine plants for any corner where 
they may he made to grow. Their fronds are 1 % 
feet high by 4 and 5 inches wide, and so deli¬ 
cately constructed as to be very handsome. N.,

$1 per doz.; P., 12 cts. each, $1.15 per doz. 
LYG0DIUM palmatum. Climbing Fern, Hartford 
Fern. Does well in a good, moist, sandy loam 
outside, but in many soils it will fail, and when 
it has been set where it seems not to thrive, it 
had better be taken in and treated to pot culture.

$2 per doz. 
MATTEUCCIA Struthiopteris ( Onoclea

of the most stately, and one of the best 
for cultivation. Not rarely 4 feet high, 
with handsome, dark green fronds 
growing in a circle, forming in out¬ 
line a handsome vase. It is not ever¬ 
green, but lasts until frost kills the 
fronds. It likes to be shaded part of 
the day, and will stand considerable 
moisture. N., 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz.; 
P., 18 cts. each, $1.55 per doz. 
ONOCLEA sensibilis. Sensitive Fern A common 
plant in moist ground; though nice to estab¬ 
lish in some places, I do not consider it as 
good as many others. N., 10 cts. each, $1 
per doz.; P., 12 cts. each, $1.15 per doz. 
OSMUNDA. Flowering Fern. The Osmundas 
are a grand group of large, tall-growing Ferns 
which, when established in the right soils 
and locations, make fine plants. O. regalis 
and O. cinnamomea grow in more moisture, 
as a rule, than O. Claytoniana , but with 
N. preceding the prices indicates not prepaid; P. indicates prepaid.
