Excerpt from Ferns: British Foreign, Their History, Organography, Classification, and Enumeration: With a Treatise on Their Cultivation With regard to the wood-cuts, I have to explain that about half of the number were not specially pre pared for this work, these, in general, represent a portion of the fronds of their natural size, in some cases without fructification, the venation only being given. The drawings for the other half have been made principally from specimens in my herbarium or from living plants. In many of them a magnified portion of the frond is given, showing the character of the genus more distinctly. As a companion to the scientific enumeration, I have given a treatise on their cultivation, which occu pies a considerable space in this book, and it is hoped will be of service to the Fern-growing public.
