WINDOW GARDEN FERNS.
Care and Interest Alone Essential
to Grow Ferns in the

OF all the green things that conde-
cend to live with us in our furnace
heated, egas-lightede houses, perhaps
none adapt themselves more readily to
conditions far removed from nature
han ferns, says q writer in Country
Life in America. 1t is astonishing how
many seemingly "immutable laws" can
be discreetly disregarded, II the love
for growing things is sufficiently strong
to make q way - ..'Shade,. moisture.
and a mild temperature" the books
warn us, are essentials Of sue
ess in growing FERNS" As q matter OF
fact, fern boxes have given satisfaction
for years under the most trying con-
ditions. and the only secret Of success
is to be interested In ferns. Sooner or
later the peculiar beauty of ferns takes
hold of one. Mature made ferns for
pure leaves" said Thoreau.
