Planting of Hardy Ferns 
Hardy Native Ferns 
For shady locations, no class of plants can equal the Ferns. They are easily grown 
in ordinary soils and will often thrive where it is impossible to make flowering plants 
succeed. We handle large quantities of Ferns annually and recommend the following: 
ADIANTUM pedatum. American Maidenhair Fern. Decidu¬ 
ous. One of the most distinct and beautiful. 
Extra strong. 
ATHYRIUM filixfemina. Lady Fern. Large, deciduous Fern. 
Exceedingly showy. X strong. 
BOTRYCHIUM virginianum. Rattlesnake Fern. Deciduous. 
Triangular fronds, deeply cut. Showy. Strong. 
CYSTOPTERIS bulbifera. Berry Bladderfern. Deciduous. 
Strong. 
DICKSONIA punctilobula. Hay-scented Fern. A very hand¬ 
some, vigorous-growing, deciduous species. Recom¬ 
mended for shade or open locations. Widely dis¬ 
tributed. Extra-heavy clumps. 
DRYOPTERIS filix-mas. Male Fern. Delicate, finely cut 
fronds. Fine effects when massed. Strong. 
goldiana. Goldie Fern. Deciduous. X strong. 
hexagonoptera. Winged Woodfern. Deciduous. Broad, 
triangular fronds. Strong. 
marginalis. Leather Woodfern. Robust, evergreen, showy 
species. X heavy. 
spinulosa. Toothed Woodfern. Evergreen. Strong. 
thelypteris. Marsh Fern. Deciduous.
