HARDY FERNS
Well Adapted to Places Where
Other Plants Fail

Few people are aware OF the beautiful
effects produced by deft paintings OF
hardy ferns Many OF them are spe-
cially adapted to cold, damp corners,
ranging along foundation walls or under
trees Il is a mistaken idea that ferns
will succeed in sodden OF stagnant soil.
Although many grow naturally in very
damp or wet soil, nature always pro-
vidcs them perfect drainage, and the
same care is necessary IN preparing beds
for them that other plants require. II IS
mistake to buy ferns from street ven
ders. because they fail to grow after
| the long exposure Of the roots to sun
and air. Many nurseryfnen make a
speciality OF hardy ferns. and these come
to YOU in perfect condition. The fol
lowing comprise the best varieties for
almost entire shade: Adiantum peda-
tum (maidcnhair fern; Aspidium acros-
tichoides (wood fern) Aspidium Gold
Ilamm (shield-fern); Asplenium Filix-
fnmina (lady-fern); Woodwards Aug
lustifola in-fern); Osmunda Clay
-tonana (Howering- fern) Asplenium
ebcneum (ebony-fern). AS back
ground for these, where there is a
wall to climb, Hedera helix English
livy), is beautiful, attaching itself firmly
by its stem rootlets.
Flowers for Shady Places
Few plants will flower where sum
shine is wholly excluded. Lily-of-the-
valley will thrive with veryclittlc -suu-
shine; and il YOU have a corner where
the sun. seldom penetrates, double,
hardy violcts will bloom profusely there.
The stems will be somewhat Short but
brush the rank foliage apart and you
will find blossoms everywhere. With
two or three hours Of sun, pansies are
rich in color and immense in size, pro-
vided there is free current OF AIR,
for air they must have. Other flowers
blooming successfully here are hardy
phloxes. columbines. spiderwort, fox
gloves, lobelias and bleeding heart (di-
centra spectabilis). with day lilies, both
the white and the orange. For foliage
effect. Cannas. caladiums and Dusty
Miller (ccntaurca) succeed. The
crowning delight of the garden at night
is the delicious fragrance of the nico-
lisns, its white flowers cleaning like
stars in the moonlight With scsntS
sunshine, they last we'll into the day
and all dsy in cloudy weather or in
doors in vases. In flower from earlJ
| July until freezing weather.

The piano manufacturer was talk

at least" he said, awaits the man who
can invent a varnish which will re-
spond to changes of temperature IN
exactly the same rate at which wood
responds.
Everybody who ever has made or
owned highly polished article OF
furniture knows that the surface Is
liable to break into small cracks-be'
come finely cracked-and thus its
beauty is lost. This cracking Is
scaused by the fact that sudden
changes Of temperature affect varnish
especially fine piano varnish--al'
most instantly, while the wood be-
meath contracts on expands at a diff
ferent rate. This splinters the var
nish, and thus fur no manufacturer
has been able to get the best of the
situation. We are waiting for this en-
tirely possible elastic varnish, which,
when 1t shall come, will be more well
come to the manufacturers Of fine fur
niture than the flying machine is to
the world at large. A piano, delicate

After a while they started around

eight miles in circumference. There
was a sand beach everywhere, except
