Fern Growing Fifty years' Experience in Crossing ana Cultivation, with a List of the most Important Varieties, and a History of the Discovery of Multiple Parentage, &c

Abstract

MR. LOWE'S name is so well known in connection with the production of hybrid ferns, that his book will be opened with interest by all those to whom the cultivation of these plants in any way appeals. But we must confess that the book falls somewhat short of our expectations It is true that a very considerable space is devoted to the history of the production of hybrid forms, and that an account is given of the methods of securing successful germination of spores; but those who expect to find a treatise on the cultivation of ferns per se, will not fine their hopes realised.
