The Ferns and Fern Allies of Minnesota was first published in 1954.
Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make
long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published
unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions.
Ferns are the most abundant plants in many areas of Minnesota, and
the beauty and variety of their leaf patterns make them a rewarding
form of plant life for study. This handbook identifies and
describes the 92 different kinds of ferns and fern allies that are
native to the state. In addition, ten other ferns that grow in
adjacent states and may be expected to be found in Minnesota are
described. An introductory section tells how to collect and
preserve specimens. Advice is given on how to transplant ferns to a
garden and which species are best for different kinds of plantings
or locations. An illustrated glossary consisting of four plates
graphically defines the technical terms used in this book.
Distribution maps and figures are placed closed to the text to
which they pertain. Many of the plates are full sized so that a
specimen may be placed on the page for identification.
