Another bill, the fate OF which is In

CARE OF THE FERNS
BY L. M. BENNINGTON.

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
fronds and by the seeds or spores that
appear on the under side Of the
leaves.
The enterprising fern lover will find
It most interesting to propagate by
spores and perchance produce a really
valuable addition to these beautiful
and graceful plants,
Procure a seed-pan or box with
plenty of drainage holes, and cover
