Among the hardy ferns are varieties treatly differing In slue and form, from I halrllke creeping stem bearing a few dmple moesllke leaves to the vIgor ina growing plants with large leaves, ittaining a height of two or three feet. ?erns are interesting and extremely teautiful, especially when grown as «peelmen plants or In combination vlth other plants. The varying condi- ions in which the different species suc- eed are remarkable. Many of them equire a warm temperature, while ithers do well in cool and shady places. Of the 4,000 or more species of ferns tot more than about forty species are ;ulted to outdoor culture iu ordinary oils and situations. These species can »e planted in beds, borders or rocker- es or in the foreground of shrubbery.
