but lasts until frost kills the fronds. It likes to be shaded part of the day, 
and will stand considerable moisture. Not prepaid, 15c. each. Si.25 per doz.;

OSMUNDA. Flowering Fern. 
The Osmundas are a grand group 
of large,tall-growing Ferns which, 
when established in the rightsoils 
and locations, make fine plants. 
O. regalis and O. cinnamomea 
grow in more moisture, as a rule, 
than O. Claytoniaiia, but with 
good treatment and an intelligent 
selection of location, the three 
may be grown together. It will 
not be the first or second year that 
the full benefit comes from the 
planting of these species. After 
they are established, much hand¬ 
somer fronds will appear.
