The Shady Garden
Nature has provided a numerous family of plants fitted for growing under the shade of trees and in places where the sun does not often send its heat-giving rays. The reference is of course to ferns. Where conditions are bad through lack of light, the stronger of the native ferns will manage to thrive and prove quite interesting. At the present thne the ferns are just on the point of pushing up the new season's fronds, and the old fronds of last season are looking the worse for wear. These may be cut away as soon as the new fronds are making headway, and a clean show for the coming season obtained. Where conditions are more favourable, a collection of the many varieties can be indulged in, but the cultivator must be guided by conditions and his own success.
