Description

FERN-CULTURE in America has still the char-
acteristics of novelty, although ferns have long
been favorites in other lands ; for some of our
New-England species have been under cultivation in Old
England for two hundred and fifty years. John Trades-
cant introduced into Europe, in 1628, the Cystopteris
bulbifera and the Maiden-hair (Adiantum pedatum) ;
while other species, including the Walking- Leaf Fern
(Camptosorus) and the Sensitive Fern (Onoclea), soon
followed. In the Kew Gardens at London, about the
first of the present century, there were eighty-three spe-
cies of exotic ferns under cultivation, while at the same
time there were thirty species in the Botanic Garden at
Berlin; and in 1866 the collection at Kew numbered
more than a thousand species of exotic ferns.
