A. marginale (Evergreen Wood Fern). Quite common on rocky hillsides. Its 
large, light green fronds have a bluish tinge and are very durable ; cut speci¬

for any place where it may be grown.- • • .* • • - • 
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 be 
grown with good success in New England, if sheltered from the warm winter 
weather by a light covering of hay or straw . • •.

the larger Ferns. Its height in favorable locations is a little more than a foot.

4 and 5 inches wide, and so delicately constructed as to be very handsome . .

and has fronds 3 to 5 inches wide, 
in good, moist soil . .

Very abundant in the mountain pastures of New England. Delicate and 
easy of culture, it is one of the best.. 
LYGODIUM palmatum (Climbing 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. . . . 
ONOCLEA sensibilis (Sensitive Fern). A common plant in moist ground; 
as many 
Osinuiida regalis. (See opposite page.) 
though nice to establish in some places, I do not consider it 
as good
