They Are Easy to Grow 
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 vegetable 
matter, so it is always best to work leaf mould 
into the soil of a fern bed. They are easy to grow.

mixture of varieties at (3 for $1.00) (6 for $1.75)
