ASPID 1 UM cristatmn, var. Clintonianum. Is a much larger plant than the true type ot A. erista/um 
It attains a height of 4 feet when grown under the most favorable conditions. It is usually found m 
shade. 15 cts. each, $1.15 per doz. e. 
A. 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. 15 cts. each, 
$1.10 per doz. d. 
A. Filix-mas. Is a large, well-shaped Fern, fronds 
growing in a circle, like those of the Ostrich Fern. 
One of the taller class, and one of the best. 25 cts. 
each. e. 
A. Goldianum (Goldie’s Wood Fern). Not rarely 
attains a height of 4 feet in its natural home. It is one 
of the finest Aspidiums. Moist, well drained, loamy 
soil is good for it. 20 cts. each, 2 for 35 cts. e. 
A. marginale (Evergreen Wood Fern). Quite com¬ 
mon on rockv hillsides. Its large, light green fronds 
have a bluish tinge and are very durable; cut speci¬ 
mens will keep a long time. Nice for the rockery or 
shaded slopes, or, in fact, for any place where it may 
be grown. 12 cts. each, $1 per doz. e. 
A. munitum. Comes from the Pacific coast, and 
much resembles in outline the Christmas Fern. It 
is not so valuable as a hardy species as that, but may Aspidium spinulosum . 
be grown with good success in New England, if 
sheltered from the warm winter weather by a light covering of hay or straw. 20 cts. each. d. 
A. Noveboracense. Is of medium size and of more delicate structure than most of the larger Ferns. 
Its height in favorable locations is a little more than a foot. 10 cts. each, Si per doz. d. 
A. spinulosum. With its var. A. intermedium , makes .a fine plant for any corner where it may be 
made to grow. Its fronds are a foot and a half high by 4 and 5 inches wide, and so delicately con¬ 
structed as to be very handsome. 12 cts. each, $1.15 per doz. e. 
A. spinulosum, var. dilatatum. Is a wider form ; from the mountains. 25 cts. each. c. 
A. thelypteris. Varies much on different soils. Fronds are about 2 feet high, long and narrow. 
10 cts. each, $1 per doz. d. 
ASPLiENIUM anj^ustifolium. Is a fine, tall Splecnwort, growing in moist ravines, and often 
attaining a height of 3 feet. Needs shade and a moist, rich soil. 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. e. 
Aspleninm e bene uni.

fairly established. A fine little Fern, with narrow 
evergreen fronds, and found on rocky soil. 10 cts. 
each. $1 per doz. c. 
A. Filix-foemina (Lady Fern). Has a larger num¬ 
ber of cultivated forms in Europe than any of our 
common Ferns. 1 to 3 feet high, with fine, delicate 
fronds, and very hardy. Shade or sun are alike con¬ 
genial, if soil is sufficiently rich and moist. 15 cts’ 
each, $1 per doz. e. 
A. thelypteroidefl (Common Silver Spleenwort). At¬ 
tains 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. 12 cts. each, $1 per doz. d. 
A. tricliomanes. Is a low, delicate little Fern, 3 to 
5 inches high, in dense tufts. Well suited to sheltered 
pockets of the rockery. 15 cts. each, $1 per doz. a. 
CAMPTOSORUS lhizopliyllus (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 locations can be imitated, it 
is a good plant. It does well in level 
culture when a rightly prepared soil can 
be furnished, and is always moist. 15 cts. 
each, $1.10 per doz. c. See illustration
