Edivard Gillett, Southicick, Mass.—Hardy Ferns 
Onoclea Struthiopteris, continued. 
Can be grown as single 
plants in open sun or 
shaded nook. Use lots of 
manure, as it is a great 
feeder. Plant about 2 
feet apart if several are 
needed. It is one of the 
very tallest of our Ferns, 
and should be planted 
well back. 25 cts. each. 
$2.00 per doz. $7.00 
per 100. 
33 OPHIOGLOSSUM vulga- 
tum (Adder’s-Tongue 
Fern), m A single leaf 
from the fibrous roots, 
bearing at the top a sin¬ 
gular spike of fruit or 
spores. Wet, open 
places, usually in low, 
grassy meadows, rather 
inconspicuous and more 
desirable for botanical 
study than general cul¬ 
ture. 10 cts. each, SI.00 
per doz. 
34 OSMUNDA regalis (Flow¬ 
ering Fern). sTwo or 3 
feet high. Pale green. 
One of the prettiest of 
the large Ferns. Can 
be grown in still water, 
2 or 3 inches deep, set¬ 
ting 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 or 3 feet apart, 
where several are to be 
grown. Large roots, 30 
cts. each, S2.00 per doz. ; 
extra heavy , 50 cts. each , 
$4.00 per doz. Last 
grade too heavy for the 
mail. 
35 O. Claytoniana. g Is 
clothed with loose wool ^ 
when U n f O 1 d in g its Osn.unda regal.a, huge clumpa 
fronds in spring, soon 
becoming perfectly smooth. This Fern. 2 to 3 feet high, is found in rather dry, 
shaded places, and does quite well under cultivation and quite well in boxes. Plant 
about 2 feet apart if several are needed. 25 cts. each, $2.00 per doz., $7.00 per 100; 
extra-heavy. 50 cts. each, $4.00 per doz. 
36 O. Cinnamomea (Cinnamon Fern), m Is usually larger than the preceding, 
often 5 feet high and 8 inches wide. Clothed with rusty wool when young, but the 
sterile fronds are smooth when full grown. Very beautiful. This will thrive in quite 
wet soil, in open sun or moist, shady places; usually found in mucky soil. 25 cts. 
each, $2.00 per doz., $7.00 per 100; extra-heavy, 50 cts. each. $4.00 per doz. 
37 PELLiEA atropurpurea (Clayton’s Cliff Brake), m A low evergreen Fern, 8 to 12 inches 
high, usually found on limestone cliffs. We got good results last season with this 
Fern in clear leaf-mold, raising the bed about 6 inches in a shaded place, using small 
flat stones between the plants; this kept the soil from drying out. We got plants a 
foot high in this way. Choice, 25 cts.
