1. Botrychium Virginicum. 3. Woodwardia angustifolia, fertile and sterile fronds. 
2. Phegopteris hexagonoptera. 4. Phegopteris polypodoides. 
Give a good mulching of leaves in winter. Our hardy Ferns can be planted at any time 
when not in full growth, in early spring as soon as the frost is gone, and any time in autumn 
until the ground is frozen. 
Unless noted, plant an inch or so deep. A few of the evergreens need to be planted with 
the crowns or new buds just at the surface or above. Note is made of all such. 
Plants in quantity. We offer some sorts that are desirable for massing by the hundred, 
but at prices given, the purchaser is to pay transportation charges.
