A. Thelypteris (Marsh Shield Fern). ♦> A foot high, with fronds about 
inches wide. We see this growing wild in large beds where it is quite wet, in open, 
sunny places. It can be cultivated in moist, open places, and is benefited by adding 
leaf-mold. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz., $7.50 per 100. 
ASPLENIUM angustifolium (Narrow-leaved Spleenwort). m A charming Fern, 
with light green, graceful fronds. Do not miss it in making up your list. Grows 1 to 3 feet 
high, with simply divided 
fronds; these divisions are 3 
to 4 inches long. Its home 
is in rich, shaded places, where 
it is quite moist. It takes 
quite kindly to cultivation in 
the Fern-bed. Set well back, 
about 12 inches apart. 25 
cts. each, $2.50 per doz., 
$15.00 per 100. See cut be¬ 
low. 
A. ebeneum (Ebony Spleen- 
wort). 4- Usually 6 to 15 
inches high. Found growing 
among the rocks and along 
cliffs in dry, rather sunny 
places. Suited for rock work. 
In planting in the front bor¬ 
der of Fern-beds, give it a lit¬ 
tle leaf-mold, and plant about 
8 inches apart; don’t cover 
the new buds. 20 cts. each, 
$2.00 per doz. $10.00 per 100.
