season, and increase in strength year after year. Plant an inch deep and about 1 
foot apart for massing. Clumps, 
20 cts. each, $2.00 per dozen. 
See illustration. 
ASPIDIUM acrostichoides 
(Christmas Fern), a An ever¬ 
green species, about a foot 
high, with deep green fronds 
simply divided. Although it 
is one of our common species, 
it is a pretty one, and easily 
grown in shade, in good garden 
soil, well drained. A good 
Fern for planting with other 
sorts. Plant with the new 
crowns or buds just at the 
surface. 15 cts. each, $1.50 
per doz. $7.00 per 100. 
Aspidium aculeatum, var. Bra- 
unii (Prickly Shield Fern), a 
* The leaves are evergreen and 
shining, and when well grown 
it is one of the finest of our 
native Ferns. It is found along 
the mountain brooks, but takes 
quite readily to cultivation in 
the shaded corner where the 
drainage is good; benefited by 
Admuium pedatum
