Of the beautiful, but delicate, adiantums perhaps the one most
frequently seen in the florist's window is A. Farleyense, with its
drooping, lace-like, light green leaves. It is not, however, suited for
house culture and while it can be made to succeed, do
not waste time in
trying it until you have mastered the growing of the hardier sorts.
However, just because Farleyense is so delicate, do not feel that you
cannot have any maidenhair fern. Croweanum is another beautiful
adiantum, and as its fronds are much firmer than those of most of this
class, it withstands the trying conditions of house culture very
satisfactorily. Another maidenhair, often called the hardy
Farleyense, is Adiantum c. v. imbricatum. As its name suggests, it
looks very much like the Farley fern, but it is suitable for house
culture. It is a very satisfactory fern. And just recently there is
another from England called the Glory fern (Glory of Moordrecht). I have
not seen it, but certainly from photographs and what the horticultural
journals have said of it, it will make a very fine fern for the winter
garden.
