PROPAGATION OF
GRACEFUL FERNS
Enterprising Lover of Plants Will
Find 1t Interesting to Do
Work by Spores.

The enterprising fern lover will find
1t most interesting to propagate by
spores, and perchance produce real
ly valuable addition to these beautiful
and graceful plants.
The ordinary way to propagate this
class of plants is by dividing the
plants. by the creeping rhizomes. by
the little bulblets that form on the
fronts, and by the seeds or spores that
appear on the undersde of the leaves.
Procure a seed pan or box with
plenty of drainage holes. and cover
the bottom with broken crockery. On
this place half decayed sod, and fill
with carefully mixed and sifted leaf
mold and sand. Make the surface of
the soil perfectly smooth and level.
and then scatter the spores on it, and
leave them without any covering. that
Is of spoil. However, they must be
enclosed in glass by placing pane of
glass over the seed box or pan.
Water by placing the seed pan in
water, and keep it there until the wa
ter appears on the surface of the soil.
Then removed at once, for too much
water will destroy the spores. Keep
the box in the light, but not the sun
remembering that ferns naturally
grow in shady places and that we
should try to follow natures lead.
