Maunificent Ferns.

The giant tree ferns of the Bontor region of the Philippine islands arg the tallest and most graceful tre" ferns in the world, not excepting the South American tree ferns which grow to majestic size. Most tree ferns have short trunks, but the Phil fppine ferns resemble palms, the older trees growing up into tall, straight
 trunks. They grow along the edge of
 the forest and quickly spring up in
 clearings, soon overlapping thickets of
 bamboo and other smaller growthS
 The seeds are minute and die almost instantly after they fall unless they find favorable soil. It is also practi cally impossible to transplant the young ferns. Various attempts have been made to transplant small plants
 of this beautiful fern to botanical gar dens in the United States. but thus far without success. Probably the gi' ant tree fern may remain solely na' tive of the Philippines, where 1t per forms q great service in beautifying the landscape and is cherished by the natives.
