To this rule, how-ever, there are some exceptions. There are two hundredgenera and two thousand species of ferns described by bot-anists. They are distributed over the whole surface of theearth, from the equator to the cold regions of the north andsouth, and always flourish best, whether in temperate ortropical zones, in moist, shady places. The stems of this plant are usually creeping, but sometimes,as in the case of the tree ferns of the tropics, they are Plant Case. The creeping stems are under ground and the leaves orfronds are the only part of the plant which shows above thesurface. In height they vary from two inches, and evenless, to a few feet; but the tree ferns of the tropics oftenattain an altitude of fifty feet and even much more. Indeed,they are said to rival the majestic palms. It is with the evergreen ferns that we have most to do, asthey will serve to cheer U9 in the winter when all of the de-
