My Boston Fern has little oblong spots on underside, is this normal?

The spots are lined up perfect on the leaves and come off when you rub or scatch them. I think they are some sort of insect but my husband says they are seed. Can any one tell me what it is.

Those are the spores that are the fern's equiavlent of seed. They're completely normal :-)
Reply:Yes, they are spores.
Reply:They are the spore-factories. All ferns reproduce that way, and it's perfectly normal.
