Famous Feats of Archery.

In the days when the buffalo was
found in vast herds on the western
plains there were Indians who, while
riding at gallop, could send an ar
row through a buffalo's body. Re-
markable as this archery was, 1t did

were such skilled archers that they
could hit a man at the distance Of
500 yards. In 1894 the Turkish am
bassador at London shot an arrow in
field near that capital AS yards

the ambassador on hearing the ex-
pressions OF surprise from the Eng

PLANTS FOR SHADY WINDOWS
BY EBEN RExFORD.

1t often happens that the woman
who loves plants has no sunny win
dows in which to grow them, and, un-
der the impression that they cannot be
successfully grown without sunshine,
she does not attempt their cultivation,
thus depriying herself of great deal
of pleasure, especially in the winter.
There is no good reason why the
lover of plants should be without their
company in the winter, provided, Of
course, that the temperature of the
rooms can be regulated to keep out
the frost, and some Of the plants that
can be grown in the windows that are
without sunshine are among our most
desirable ones for house culture.
First on the list | would place the
Boston fern. Nearly everyone is fa-
miliar with this plant. 1t requires only
the ordinary attention.
Give it a soil of garden loan. with
enough coarse, sharp sand worked
into it to make 1t friable, liberal. but
not an excessive amount of water and
a temperature varying several de-
grees above the frost point, and any
one may be reasonably sure of sue
cess with 1t.
1t does not do very well. however,
in steamheated, gas-lighted rooms, No
plants will flourish under such condi.
tions, though many will live on indef-
nitely under them.
The Aspidistra is about the only
plant would dare to recommend to
those living in rooms heated and light.
ed as mentioned above.
This plant has an almost iron con,
stitution, which enables 1t to withstand
influences that would soon kill most
plants.
1t seems to care nothing for the sun.
shine, and therefore is exceIlentiy
adapted to cultivation in sunless
rooms
II not subject to the debilitating ef
feet OF steam heat, it will make a
most luxuriant growth, and its rich
dark leaves will afford a vast amount
Of pleasure.
While 1t is able to withstand un.
favorable conditions better than other
plants, 1t is always grateful for good
care, and the plants that are cared for
well are always the ones that give the
best satisfaction, keep in mind.
English ivy is an old favorite.
"wined up about window, it is a
beautiful sight to sae. ! know of no
vine having more attractive foliage.
Its dark, rich leaves have just the
thick, leathery texture a plant should
have to resist the effect of dry air and
dust Dust need never be allowed to
accumulate on it, however
Dust the vine evely day. You need
rot be afraid OF injuring the foliage.
Some of the finest specimens Of it !
have ever seen have never had a
glimpse of sunshine. Give II soil of
garden loan.
Have its pot well drained; water
moderately. Be on the lookout for

scale. If any are found generally
along the stalks, but sometimes on the
leaves-wash the entire plant with
soapy water. taking care TO rub the
infested stalks well.
In order to make it easy to take the
plant down for cleaning, would ad-
wise putting small screw-hooks in the
window frame to furnish support for
1t, rather than fastening them secure
ly to the woodwork. Simply slip the
vine over the hook and 1t will need no
other support. When it is necessary
to take the plant down for any pur-
pose, all one has to do is lift it out of
the hooks that hold it-and there you
are.
The Whitman fern is fitting COM
panion for the Boston fern, Of which 1t
is sport. This variety has much
shorter fronds than the Boston fern.
They are much wider, however, and
their leaflets are subdivided in such

feathery and exceedingly graceful.
This is a most excellent plant for a
place at the sill, while the Boston yari'
ETY. Is more effective If given bracket

point of vantage its long fronds can
droop in such manner rs to display
their charms most effectually.
All plant lovers have desire to
grow some member of the Adiantum
branch of the fern family in the living
room. Few have succeeded in doing
this, however. because of the delicacy
OF the ordinary varieties. But We have
one now that will adapt itself ordinar-
ily to the cultivation which prevails in
the usual home.
This is Crowcanum. have given 1t
years trial and 1t has proved salts
factory-as satisfactory as the old
Boston fern. 1t is stronger. sturdier
in habit than any other Adiantum ]
have ever seen and its foliage is thicker
and firmer
1t grows to height Of about eight
cen inches and has corresponding
spread of branches. Its foliage has all
the grace that characterizes this di-
vision of the great fern family, and
well-grown specimen is thing to be
proud Of.
Give it a soil of loan, turfy matter
or leaf mold and sand, equal parts. Let
its drainage be good water well and
cover with something when you dust
the room.
All the plants mentioned above are
Non-flowering Or, more strictly speak
ing, they are grown for their foliage
only. Whatever flowers they have are
SO insignificant as to be unnoticeable.
But there are towering plants quite
well adapted to culture in sunless
windows.
One OF these is Primula obconica.
Another is Primula Forbesii. Primula
obconica has much longer flowers than
the other variety and is therefore more
snowy, but Primula Forbesii is a most
charming little thing that will win its
way to the heart of every person who
loves flowers.
