PLANTS FOR SHADE 33 


Hardy Ferns 
There is a great lack of hardy ferns in our gardens. 
They will succeed in most any moist or shady loca- 
tion. The variety listed here are ones that will not 
only grow well but will increase under cultivation. 
SMALLER FERNS 
Those growing 18 inches to 26 inches in height. Best for 
average garden use. 
35¢c each 3 for $1.00 $3.50 dozen 
LADY FERN—Anthyrium Felixfemina — Large handsome 
fern, 2-3 ft. high, finely cut foliage. One of the best for the 
beginner. 
MAIDEN HAIR FERN — Adiantum Pedatum— The most 
graceful hardy fern. Loves a rich, moist shady location. Will 
increase year after year. 
NARROW LEAVED SPLEENWORT—Anthyrium Pycnocar- 
pon—Lovely fern to 26 inches high with fronds like a Boston 
fern. Does well for us in a moist clay soil. 
SILVER SPLEENWORT — Antherium Thelypteroides —s 
fully divided fern with silver spore cases. Thrives in most 
any soil that is moist and shady. 
XMAS FERN-—Polystichum Acrostichoides— An evergreen 
variety growing about a foot high. A rather common variety
