HARDY FERNS 
Our hardy ferns have so many uses that they 
are really indispensable to all good gardens. 
They are becoming very popular—to fill in 
those places where the ordinarv shrubs and 
flowers will not thrive. The cool north ex' 
posure of the home or other buildings is an 
ideal place for a fern bed. They make an 
ideal background for other flowers. The 
fronds can also be cut to use in the house 
with other cutflowers. 
Any ordinary good garden soil with a liberal 
application of leaf mold or peat spaded in 
will grow good ferns. With just a minimum 
of care a fernery will increase in beauty 
each season and last many years.
