19 A. Trichomanes (Maidenhair Spleenwort). Z A delicate little Fern, with narrow fronds 
3 to 6 inches long. This, although found up among the clilTs, adapts itself to the small 
rockery, where it docs e.\ceedingly 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.

ground and take root, forming new plants at each “step” thus taken. This curious 
habit has given the Fern its popular name. Found growing naturally on shaded, cal¬ 
careous rocks. Interesting and quite easy to grow in the rock-garden. If to be growm 
in the Fern bed, use a good sprinkling of leaf-mold, raising the bed 2 or 3 inches, and 
plant on front edge about 6 inches apart. 10 cts. each, $i per doz.
