RIRCH BASKET FOR FERNS.-The fol-
loving experiment has been success
fally tried, and made as pretty fern
ery as any one could wish. Take a
piece of white birch bark about half a
yard square, and cut in each corner a
slit not more than three inches long,
running from the corner toward the
middle of the piece. Then lap the
edges of the slit completely over each
other, thus forming the side of the
basket, which will be about two inches
and half high. To fasten 1t, sew it
through several times with waXed
thread; unbleached Is best, as it scarce
ly shows. Each corner must be done
in the same way. A narrow band
of the bark is fastened all round
the upper edge of the basket TO hold 1t
firmly together. The handle is long
strip measuring eighteen inches In
length, and two and half In width =,
and must be securely fastened to each
side OF the basket, sewing 1t In the
same manner as the corners. It Is now
ready for the ferns, First fill the bot
tom with the rich leaf-mould found In
the woods, and then place in the plants,
choosing the smaller ones, as they seem
to thrive better than the larger. Sc
lect as great a variety as possible, not
forgetting the lovely Maldenhair, also
some of the trailing vines that are
found in the woods, of which one of
the prettiest is the Partridge Vine,
with its bright red berries. Winter
green also thrive with the rest of these
plants, and is very beautiful, with its
dark green leaves and the snowy bios
SONS it bears before the scarlet berries s
form. A thorough watering every
morning is all the care necessary tor
it, and It's beauty will fully repay one
for the slight trouble of making and
taking care of il.
