tum (Adder’s-Tongue Fern), 
ffl A single leaf from the 
fibrous roots, bearing at the 
top a singular spike of fruit 
or spores. Wet, open 
places, usually in low, grassy 
meadows, rather inconspic¬

botanical study than gen¬ 
eral culture. 10 cts. each,

ering Fern). ffl Two or 3 feet 
high. Pale green. One of the 
prettiest of the large Ferns.

2 or 3 inches deep, setting 
the plants so that the crowns 
shall be just above the water. 
It can also be grown in moist 
soils, sun or shade. Plant 2
