Hardy Ferns do well in shady and half-shady 
places and are useful for growing close to houses, 
in corners which are too dark for most plants. 
Ferns do best in light soils containing much vege- 
table matter, so it is always best to work leaf 
mould into the soil of a fern bed. They are easy 
to grow. We have a fine assortment, and sell them
