Adiantum pedatum 
FOR THE OPEN BORDER 
Mostly tall Ferns with bold, broad foliage, 
and imposing appearance. They are adapted 
to sunshine but need the shelter of adjacent 
plants about the base of the fronds. Plant 
them in mixed groups among low shrubs. 
6 Osmunda claytoniana. 2-3 ft. 
6 Onoclea struthiopteris. 3-4 ft. 
18 Dicksonia punctilobula. 1-2 ft. 
6 Asplenium felix-foemina. 1-3 ft. 
36 Ferns for $4.00 
FOR WET, OPEN GROUND 
No trouble at all to find ordinary plants for 
wet, open ground but not many Ferns are 
adapted to the sunshine. Use rushes or flower¬ 
ing plants freely in such situations. 
12 Onoclea sensibilis. 1 ft. 
12 Osmunda regalis. 2-3 ft. 
24 Ferns for $2.50 
FOR DRY, ROCKY LEDGE 
Some of the choicest little Ferns are found 
in such places in nature. Mostly they are 
dwarf—frequently half evergreen—but always 
charming in outline, texture and aspect. 
12 Asplenium trichomanes. 3-6 in. 
12 Woodsia obtusa. 6-12 in. 
12 Polypodium vulgare. 6 in. 
12 Woodsia ilvensis. 6 in. 
48 Ferns for $4.50 
Asplenium acrostichoides 
FOR MOIST, SHADY PLAGES 
The wealth of plants which will flourish in 
moist, shady places is embarrassing. Ferns are 
no exception. Choose those of relatively low 
stature, among which to mingle blooming 
plants such as bog orchids. 
6 Adiantum pedatum. 1-1U ft. 
6 Aspidium cristatum. 1 ft. 
6 Polystichum acrostichoides. 1 ft. 
6 Aspidium spinulosum. D/2-2 ft. 
6 Aspidium marginale. D/2-2 ft.

54 Ferns for $5.00 
FOR DRY, SHADY PLACES 
Under trees, in the shade of buildings where 
the soil is too dry for blooming plants, these 
Ferns may adapt themselves or if not all, some 
may. Dry shade is one of the gardener's 
hardest problems. 
9 Aspidium marginale. 11/2-2 ft. 
9 Dicksonia punctilobula. 1-2 ft. 
9 Osmunda claytoniana. 2-3 ft.
