6 Edward Gillett , Southwick , Mass.—Hardy Ferns 
Aspidium Goldianum, continued. 
sired that has grace and beauty in its bearing, we would recommend Goldie’s Wood 
Fern. This fern is not often seen in New England. It is easily grown, and is perfectly 
hardy. Plant an inch deep and 18 inches apart for massing. 20 cts. each, $2.00 per 
doz. See cut of this growing with A. angustifolium. 
A. marginale (Evergreen Wood Fern), m * One 
of our prettiest evergreen species. Fronds 1 to 2 
feet in length, 3 to 5 inches wide, thickish, and of 
a deep green color. It delights in rich shady, rocky 
hillsides, yet it thrives in my garden with Maiden¬ 
hair and other kinds. Plant this fern with the crown 
an inch above the surface, and a foot apart. 15 cts. 
each, $1.50 per doz. $7.00 per 100. 
A. munitum. ® An evergreen Fern from Oregon, 
resembling A. acrostichoides, but finer; desirable 
for rock-work in shade. Plant with the crown just at 
the surface and about 9 inches apart. 20 cts. each. 
$2.00 per doz. 
A. Noveboracense. (New York Shield Fern), m 
A slender species, about a foot high, in moist, 
shady woods, with fronds 3 to 4 inches wide. Pale 
green. Fine for massing. Plant 9 inches apart. 
Cover an inch or so. 15 cts. each. $1.25 per doz. 
$6.00 per 100. 
A. spinulosum (Spinulose Wood Fern). ® A 
very pretty evergreen species, about 15 inches 
high, with finely dissected fronds about 4 inches wide. Quite a prominent Fern in 
moist woods and on shaded banks, where it becomes easily established when planted. 
It does quite well in the Fern-bed planted well back. Plant 18 inches apart, with 
the new buds above ground. 15 cts. each, $1.50 per doz. $7.00 per 100.
