CARL STARKER GARDENS CATALOGUE Ny) 
FERNS 
We wish to announce the arrival of several shipments of new 
English Ferns. Their hardy constitution and their exotic forms 
recommend them well for shade planting. Texture form, and color 
vary endlessly. Their lacy, frilled, lacinated or crested fronds excite 
much admiration. We hope by fall to have adequate supplies of 
named sorts for distribution. If you live near, a visit to our garden 
in mid-summer will reveal their true beauty.
