cULTIvATING FERNS.
How They Can Be Raised and Kept
FIourishina.

FlourtShino.
Ferns are among the most graceful
and beautiful of foliage plants. For a
shady nook in the yard during sum-
mer. for shaded window or for hall
decoration in winter the ferns viii be
found desirable plants. says Garden
Magazine.
They like cooler atmosphere than
most plants grown for the window, and
for this reason a cool room or hall
suits them best. A temperature of
from 80 to Go degrees is warm enough
for most of the greenhouse species.
Keep in light. moist. shady place and
as soon as the young plants are large
enough pick them out and pot In three
inch pots. placing half dozen in each
pot. AS they become larger they may
be potted singly.
When the ferns once ere established
In pots do not repot them more than
once a year and that invariably when
the plants are in a dormant state. IN
der no circumstances should the roots
be disturbed while growing. As the
plants become larger the soil should be
more lumpy and coarse and should
consist of one-sixth part of charcoal or
broken crockery, which viii keep the
soil porous and sweet
1t is mistake to use large pots for
ferns. They will thrive with less root
room than the majority of cultivated
plants, and 1t is not unusual for florists
to allow the plants to remain In the
same pot for more than one year. In
this event. however. the soil is en-
riched during the growing season by
liberal applications of liquid manure.
Great care should be taken that the
plants do not suffer from dryness at
the roots. This will stunt them and
seriously injure their vitality.
Ferns are not attacked often by in
sects. The young fronds sometimes
are troubled by green fly. but this pest
can be effectually destroyed by fumi-
eating. Swinging and washing with
tobacco water The scale insect is the
worst foe and is difficult to dislodge.
Repeated washing with camphor wa
ter or diluted alcohol when the plants
are at rest will be found effectual.

him warm And he sits in the flower
with only his head uncovered, so that
