Outdoor ferneries are usually formed of tree roots and banks of earth, picturesquely disposed and planted with ferns severally adapted to the sites and positions the scheme affords.

Página 21 - The trite, if inelegan t saying, about " going up like a rocket, and coming down like a stick " would apply to not a few of the suddenly made reputations in our leading photographic exhibitions.
Página 195 - This is so theoretically, but, as I before observed, it is highly improbable that the perpendicular system is ever so received, the roots showing a much greater affinity to their new surroundings, than they have to the callus, of which they are entirely independent. In the work from which the above quotation is taken, the Theory of Horticulture, the callus is spoken of as "those processes which usually precede the formation of roots...
Página 207 - ... all the trees of common red to be found in their gardens. When the better kinds begin to bear, take up all the common, and either give them away or burn them.
