Ferns for the Window Garden.

EcTHS IOT UUe w lnUOW UaFQens
c. L. Allen in Garden and Forest.
One of the most common causes of failure in
window gardening is unsuitable selection of
plants In fact, this is the principal cause, for
where man can live some species of plants
will thrive. After the crysanthemum is out of
bloom, scarlet pelargoniums. some other
towering plants with bright colors, are gene
rally selected for the kindergarten. These
cannot succeed where we cannot or will not
allow clear, full sunshine. The living room
rarely affords this sunshine, which is necessary
to the production of vivid color.
Most plants that have reveled in full light
and pure air during the summer soon lose the
bloom OF health when brought into the living
or sleeping room; they lose their strong, fleshy
leaves. they become emaciated and sicken and
die.
For rooms where there is but little light,
where the sun makes only a formal call once q
day, ferns will thrive luxurantly, and the more
beautiful species appear to thrive the best.
AS family the adiantums surpass all the
others in graceful beauty, and Of the species
few can compare with the noble A. ,fdrLyense
or the delicate A. grdciHs. These two have
grown with perfect success in the room of an
invalid, when at times there would be but little
light and hardly any full sunshine during the
entire winter. So well did they succeed that
In spring they would have been given a promi-
nent position at fern exhibition. In the
same situation no towering plants could be
u,
for none are as cheerful or restful to the weary
eye as the delicate adiantums. Some of the
adiantums make charming basket plants; con-
spicuous among them is A. edge,rOrthi, whose
delicate fronds, when young. wear a lovely
pinkish hue, gradually shading into pale
grayish-green.
II a climbing plant Is wanted for the house.
the fern family will furnish this, too, in the
Lygodiun, scdr.de1s, and a more beautiful plant,
or one more easy of management, cannot be
found. While it is favorite in the green
house, and most useful for decorative purposes,
it is well adapted to house-culture, as it re-
quires but little light and is not injured BY
gas or furnace heat, so fatal to most plants. It
is rapid grower and, with proper manage
ment, can be made to complete its growth in
summer, after which it can be introduced into
any moderately cool room in the house, where
it will remain an object of beauty the entire
winter. There are scores of ferns besides
those named that are adapted for the house
during winter; in fact, most ferns do well, but
none, think. are as beautiful as the ones
noticed In using ferns for he'window one
caution must be observed. Well-established
plants must be secured to begin with. In their
young and growing state they require more
humid atmosphere than the house affords, con-
dition that is not essential when the plant is
fully developed

The committee, as made up by a free trade speaker, with free trade chairman and free trade majority in control. have exercised their power in a manner heretofore unheard of in congress. The committee as whole was not called together for business for many weeks after the session began, but the majority mem- bers met instead in conference, and agreed upon a course, prepared bill, gave hearings to whom they pleased, and when they got ready called in their minority associates to ratify their doings They voted down every proposition to give hearings to those interest ed in protection, but finally did consent to receive written protests from such, voting down a motion to have such read by the clerk before the committee! The minority will try hard to have congress refer back the majority report with orders to give hearing to parties interested
