Ferns don't produce seeds.

Ferns reproduce through Spores which are produced on fertile fronds (leaves) which are distinguishable by the dark usually circular patches on the underside.

The spore is like the seed of a flowering plant, in that it is the way the fern reproduces and spreads. A spore, however, is different in that it is a single cell that has only one copy of each chromosome (haploid), and a seed is multicellular and has two (diploid). The spore develops into a plant called a gametophyte that can produce both sperm and eggs. These unite in the processes called fertilization, producing a "baby" fern called a zygote, which now has two copies of each chromosome (it is diploid). By normal cell division, this grows into the fern plant as we know it.
