Edward Gillett, Southwick, Mass.—Hardy Ferns 
Aspidium Noveboracense (page 6) 
A. Felix-foemina (Lady-Fern). m A 
large, handsome Fern, 2 to 3 feet high, 
with finely cut foliage. Plant in a moist 
place, in sun or shade, good, rich soil. 
This is a good Fern to grow as single 
specimens or it can be set 18 to 24 
inches apart at back of Fern-bed. One 
of the very best for general culture. 15 
cts. each, 81.75 per doz., 88.50 per 100. 
A. Trichomanes (Maiden-hair Spleen- 
wort). m A delicate little Fern, with 
narrow fronds 3 to 6 inches long. 
This, although found up among the 
cliffs, adapts itself to the small rockery, 
where it does exceedingly well; also in 
the Fern border. This is one of the 
small evergreen Ferns benefited by a 
good allowance of leaf-mold. Plant 
about 8 inches apart, with the crowns 
brought to the surface. Clumps, 20 cts.- 
each, 82.00 per doz.. 810.00 per 100. 
Potted 25 cts. each, 82.50 per doz. 
A. Trichomanes var. Gilletlii. A form 
found growing with the common Tri¬ 
chomanes. The little clumps of short 
growth fronds are stronger and more 
vigorous and of a more decided pros¬ 
trate form, growing nearly flat on the 
ground. We believe it will prove a very 
robust grower. Note the difference in 
the two cuts. 35 cts. each. 83.50 per 
doz.
