Suitable positions for Hardy Ferns are to be found in almost every garden. With few exceptions they do best in a shady or semi-shady position, in rich but well-drained soil, where they can be liberally supplied with water during dry weather. Where the soil is stiff or clayey, incorporate a liberal quantity of leaf- mould, peat or other loose material to make friable. Varieties marked * require a shady position. Those marked f succeed H in the sun or half shade. We give after each variety the average height of growth in inches. * Adiantum Pedatum (Hardy Maidenhair). 8 to 12. * Aspidium Acrostichoides (Wood Fern). 12. * â Marginale {Evergreen Wood Fern). 12 to 24. * â Goldieanum (Shield Fern). 24 to 36. * â Spinulosum. 12 to 15. * Asplenium Filix=fcemina. 10 to 12. * Victoria; ( Queen of Lady Ferns). 12 to 15. + â â Multifidurn. 12 to 15. * Pulcherimum. 12 to 15. f Setigerum. 15 to 18. * Cragii Laciniatum. 15 to 18. * â Goringianum Pictum. 10 to 15. * âThelypteris. 15 to 18. t â TrJchomanes. 3 to 6. + Dicksonia Punctilobula (Gossamer Fern). 24 to 36. * Lastrea Chrysoloba. 12. f â Pseudo=mas Pinderi. 18 to 24. f Cristata. 12 to 15. f â Filix=mas (Male Fern).
