INTERRUPTED FERNS (OSMUNDA CLAYTONIA) 
While there are some four thousand different species of Ferns, we offer this limited group of those that are most 
suitable to the average garden culture. Not being a flowering family they are difficult to describe, except as to their 
height and best growing conditions and uses. Some grow to six feet while others creep over stones. 
Native plants and orchids if grown in the same locality as ferns are supplied with the necessary shade in the 
Summer and when the foliage decomposes it supplies the required plant food. We are grouping and briefly 
describing varieties for situations as mentioned.
