1t had just dawned upon Philip
Smart that Kate Hampton was the girl

he mentally argued. she must think
I'm an awful duffer," and he wondered
anew that he had been such blind
fool as not to know what had been the
matter with him all these months. He
believed now that he had been in love
with her ever since they had gone to
the kindergarten and hid not known 1t.
His heart was very light, and he was
singing at the top of Il lusty baritone
voice, "Oh, but love you, dear." when
there was thump at his door and his
best friend, Fred Bart. dropped in.
Fred was also dressed with care and

HARDY FERNS.
About Forty Species Are Suited to Out
door Culture,


Among the hardy ferns are varieties
greatly differing in size and form. from
a harlike creeping stem bearing few
simple mosslike leaves to the vigor-
GUS growing plants with large leaves,
attaining height of two or three feet
Ferns are interesting and extremely
beautiful. especially when grown as
specimen plants or In combination
with other plants. The varying condi-
tions in which the different species sue
ceed are remarkable. Many of them
require warm temperature. while
others do well In cool and shady places
OF the 1000 or more species of ferns
not more than about forty species are
suited to outdoor culture In ordinary
soils and situations. These species can
be planted In beds. borders or rocker
les or In the foreground of shrubbery.
As most Of them require a somewhat
shady place. they are especially useful
for filling In places where grass and
other light loving plants cannot grow.
Perfect drainage Is required. The soil
should have leaf mold in 1t, or decayed
peat or well decayed sod will answer.
Hardy ferns are best planted In the
spring, but they can be planted in the
summer IL the fronds or leaves are cut
back, making 1t easier for the plants to
establish themselves before the winter
sets In. From his florist the amateur
gardener can obtain cuttings Of varie-
ties most suitable for the soil and ell
mate In his vicinity. In the winter the
ferns should be given protection. with
covering Of leaves. hay or straw
