UNUSUAL SUCCESS

BeefSteak Fed Occasionally to

A friend who has unusual success
in raising ferns and palms has given
me her secret. She feeds them beef
steak occasionally About every six
weeks she plants bit of raw meat
close to the roots and ii is literally
eaten up
Some of our potted ferns were droop-
ing so | fastened to try the new plant
food. A single dose of the steak
brought them back to health and their
growth since has been surprising.
Then in pure curiosity experimental
with some outdoor ferns last summer,
and after a few weeks | dug up the
place to see how the meat and plant
were getting on together. | found
the decaying steak literally cluched
by innumerable roots that had en-
twined themselves about it like SO
much wire How hungry they
seemed.
1t is said to be a common thing
for people living along the gulf coast
to feed oysters to their ferns and
palms. This would be somewhat eX-
pensive for us poor inland people,
but they frequently buy load Of
shell-fish as we buy coal, simply dump
ing them in a pile in the back yard
