These ferns are grown from Maine to Florida. In general, a supply from near at hand is better than one coming from a distance. A lot of Boston runners (5,000) obtained from Florida and grown in Massachusetts were recently seen which were most unsatisfactory. At the end of a month there had been scarcely any growth, while for similar runners obtained nearby three weeks should see them well established and ready for sale. One large grower found another danger in Florida importations in the Florida moth, which nearly cleaned out their supply of ferns before they discovered that sprays of hellebore or pyrethrum destroyed it.
