NOTICE 
Hardy or Outdoor Ferns 
At the ti this cat- 
stecinat panied, Gor OUTDOOR FERNS 
gress had not passed 
Hardy Ferns do well in shady and half-shady places in the garden and 
park, and are often useful for growing close to houses, in corners which 
are too dark for most plants. Ferns do best in light soils containing much 
vegetable matter, so it is always best to work a considerable amount of 
leaf mouldtinto the soil of a fern bed. The common notion that Ferns res 
quire wet or almost swampy conditions is not well founded, as they will 
do nicely under ordinary garden treatment in the matter of moisture. 
We have a fine assortment of Hardy Perennial Ferns, and sell them in 
a fine mixture of varieties at 3 for 75c; 12 for $2.00, postpaid.
