Description:
Advice as to Selection, Treatment, etc. Information regarding their Origin and the various conditions under which they thrive. Two printed slips advertising the book loosely inserted, '...a practical treatise written by a practical man who deals with the subject clearly and concisely. In suggesting a list which he gives of 100 Ferns for a Fernery, the writer states it should not be inferred there are not more, but if one had these 100, one would have a good nucleus for a Fernery. For amateurs with back gardens or yards and no glass, fifty suitable varieties are given. Ferns suitable for baskets, Ferns under stages, rockeries under glass, and Wardian Fern cases are all dealt with.'
