them are four. They are narrowly
oblong in shape and are deeply cut
to the midrib. They live through
out the winter, curling up tight
during the coldest weather, and
greet the spring by unrolling and
looking quite pert.
The large round fruit dots are
found on the underside of the fer
tile fronds, halfway between the
margin and the midrib. These are
much more conspicuous than in
most ferns and they lack entirely
the protective scale found in others.
Polypodies belong to the largest
OF the fern families. There are
almost 400 species In the world.
Most Of them are in the tropics,
and five species are found in North
eastern America.
In your own garden, wherever
there is shaded ledge Of rocks, you
can do no better than start 4 small
colony OF these ferns. They are
not rs thirsty rs so many of their
relatives and neighbors. You can
always find them on = rocky sum-
NIT.
The fronds Of the polypody are
thick and leathery. They are ever
green. growing from slender.
brown-scaly branching rootstock
that crawls at the surface Of the
soil.
Sometime about the middle of
June. the bright yellowish- brown
sort begin to appear on the backs
OF ordinary fronds in double row.
Inspect the fern frond whenw you
are next in the woods. The fer
tile fronds have these dots on
them.
Once, 1t was thought this fern
had medicinal properties. The
fronds were boiled in water and
sugar, and given to children with
the whooping cough. This polypody
is found from Alabama to the Far
North and Northwest. 1t has sew
eral cousins. While its natural
habitat is on rocks, it has been
known to establish itself on trees
and logs where the atmosphere Is
moist and rocks are scarce. In Eng
land, trees seem to be their favorite
home sites.
Since these ferns are very abund-
ant almost everywhere they are
found. removing a few Of them for
your garden will not be robbins
friends who pass that way.

COMMON POLYPODY

Have you noticed how few gar
dens have ferns In them? This Is a
strange oversight when one stops
to think what beautiful plants they
are. Besides, they make such a
handsome background for bright
flowers, and even for the paler hued
ones.
Most ferns need little attention
once you have established them In
a congenial spot. As a class. they
need shade. and they will thrive in
almost any good garden soil. They
are easy to transplant, and they In
crease SO other spots in the garden
may be beautifled by their presence.
