The House Fern.

To revive house ferns that are almost
dead or not growing well, take them
out of the pot and give them other
ground.
Take only good. black soil, plant fern
down deep, give it plenty of water.
If not too large I set it once in two
weeks in the bath tub and with a whisk
broom 1 give it good spraying But
if fern is too large to handle I lay
newspapers all around, spray same
way, then remove the damp papers. .
Fern leaves must never be touched
with the fingers.
If the plant is treated this way it will
become beautiful.
