Unfolding fronds of the Osmundas. 
Dryopteris Filix-Mas (Aspidium Filix-Mas ). Is a 
large, well-shaped Fern, with fronds growing in 
a circle, like those of the Ostrich Fern. One of 
the taller class, and one of the best. N., 25 cts. 
each; P., 30 cts. each. 
D. —, var. Barnesii. A handsome form with nar¬ 
rower fronds. N., 30 cts. each; P., 35 cts. each. 
D. Goldieana (Aspidium Goldieanum). 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. N., 20 cts. 
each, $1.05 per doz.; P., 23 cts. each, $2.05 
per doz. 
Dryopteris marginalis (Aspidium marg inale ). Quite 
common on rocky hillsides. Its large, light green 
fronds have a bluish tinge and are very durable; 
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.; 1\, 15 cts. each, $1.25 per doz. 
D. Noveboracensis (Aspidium Noveboracense ). Of 
medium size and more delicate structure than 
most of the larger Ferns. Its height in favor¬ 
able locations is a little more than a foot. N., 
12 cts. each; P., 14 cts. each. 
D. spinulosa (Aspidium spinulosum) and its variety 
intermedia make fine plants for any corner where 
they may be made to grow. Their fronds are 
1/4 feet high by 4 and 5 inches wide, and so 
delicately constructed as to be very handsome. 
N., 10 cts. each, $1 per doz.; P., i2 cts. each, 
$1.15 per doz. 
D. Thelypteris (Aspidium Tlielypteris ). Varies 
much on different soils. Fronds are about 2 
feet high, long and narrow. N., 10 cts. each, 
$1 per doz.; P., 12 cts. each, $1.15 per doz. 
MATTEUCCIA Struthiopteris (Onoclea Struthiopteris ). 
Ostrich Fern. One 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 outline a hand¬ 
some vase. It is not evergreen, 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. 
0SMUNDA. Flowering Fern. The Osmundas are 
a grand group of large, tall-growing Ferns 
which, when established in the right soils and 
iV. preceding the prices indicates not prepaid; P. indicates prepaid.
