What shall we do with our poor little

indeed are the homes that do not shelter
some bit of growing green during the
winter months and usually the green is
fern, and sometimes there is difficulty in
keeping 1t alive.
A proper understanding is the only
secret OF success with ferns. according 70
a writer in suburban life, for. unless one
knows the "whens" and 'what-to-do s.
there is little chance of successfully rails

understanding is simple. and is summed

Of frost, of excessive dry heat, over

OF this dryness is decidedly noticeable
upon the foliage, which turns a yellow
brown, beginning first on the tips Of the
leaves and later extending all along the
stem SO often we hear people telling
one another not to touch the fern leaves
or they will die; this is a foolish idea.
This condition is not the result OF hand
ling. but of the lack of water or OF very
dry atmosphere In the home. The proper
way TO water fern is To stand IT In
dish of water for half an hour at time.
Let the water soak up through the jar
and then drain before placing In the usual
position DO not let a fern stand IN
water day after day; such treatment will
rot the roots off, causing the beautiful
leaves to grow very yellow
There is no rule for watering plants
but with ferns twice a week Is necessary,
and as much oftener as they require. In
hot weather, or In house where II IL
very warm, the earth dries out more
oulckly. and the fern will want frequent
light waterings. glass of water once or
twice between the soakings will carry
most plants along nicely, but use your
