FERNS—We have divided the Ferns into 
two sections; those which require very 
little, if any shade, and those which are 
true shade lovers. 
Dwarf Rock Ferns—The species listed be- 
low require very little shade, unless 
otherwise noted, and will thrive with 
very little moisture after June once they 
have become established. But they do 
require a very well-drained, stony soil, 
with plenty of leaf mold or peat and silt, 
and-.if possible should be planted so that 
the roots will be protected from the hot 
summer sun by burying the roots under 
a partly submerged rock. We advise 
planting these in spring if possible, and 
not later than end of October in fall.
