POLYPODIUM, Continued. 
P. viviparum—A wonderful Fern from the 
West Indies, and should be planted where 
it receives some protection from the 
severe cold. Lacy fronds, 3 to 4 inches 
wide and 15 to 20 inches long. The tips 
are proliferous (producing young plants 
upon their leaves). As the fronds touch 
the ground, the young plants take root. 
Also valuable as a pot plant for the 
house. 50c, $1.00 and $1.50 each. 
Woodwardia chamissoi—The great Chain 
Fern of the Redwoods in California. If 
provided with shade and moisture, will 
often, in time, attain a height of from 5 
to 12 feet. We have established plants, 
from 2 to 3 years, in our gardens. 75c 
and $1.00 each.

terly. Dues, $1.50 per year, including four

GAILLARDIA—A very desirable plant, both 
for border and cut flowers. Its require- 
ments are simple: light, open, well- 
drained soil in full sun. Require very 
little water during the summer months 
and are in bloom from early June to late 
Nov. Our named varieties are propa- 
gated vegetatively and are guaranteed 
true to name.
