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. 
1 ADIANTUM pedatum (Maidenhair Fern), m The most graceful of all our New Eng¬ 
land Ferns and very easily 
grown in rich, moist, shady 
places; about a foot high. 
This, like nearly all the Ferns, 
needs good drainage. It will 
establish itself in one season, 
and increase in strength year 
after year. Plant an inch 
deep and about 1 foot apart 
for massing. Clumps, 25 cts. 
each, S2.00 per dozen. See 
illustration. 
2 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. 20 cts. each, $1.50 
per doz. S7.00 per 100.
