On the subject of ferns a writer in
ssyicks' says.-it is better to begin with
young plants. Be careful not to overpot
them; wash the inside of the pots clean
and give especially good drainage; use
open. rich. fibrous soil. light rather than
heavy. and instead of filling the pot with
soil to the brim leave plenty of room to
hold water. Ferns should never get quite
dry at the root, yet it will not do to keep
them soaking wet. Many of them. es-
pecially the maiden-hair and gold and
silver. ferns. dislike being splashed over
lead, and hot sunshine must never fall
directly upon these delicate kinds Ferns
are sure to be killed by little ~dribblings
of water given every day. The same rule
that applies to Watering other plants is
good with ferns. When the top of the
soil looks dry fill the pot with water to
the brim. so that the ball OF soil may
have a thorough. soaking.
