The Fern Garden: How to Make, Keep, and Enjoy It; Or Fern Culture Made Easy (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Fern Garden: How to Make, Keep, and Enjoy It; Or Fern Culture Made EasyBeginners in Fern culture are very much perplexed by the abundance of books on the subject, and their general unfitness to afford the aid a beginner requires. Almost everybody has written a book on ferns, it having become the fashion to consider a knowledge of the subject rather a disqualification than otherwise. When the blind attempt to lead the blind the result can be safely predicated, and no doubt the myriads of bad books on ferns that swarm in the cheap book shops have done their full share of mischief. We have fortunately plenty of good books on the subject, but for the most part they are technical and elaborate, and shoot over the heads of beginners.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
