BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

Yes, there are climbers among
fern. We have not been expecting
to see them In this role and have
no doubt thought they belonged in
the vine tribe. There is an inter-
esting cousin in the West Indies
that sometimes reaches length Of
40 feet and is thought to be the
longest frond of any living fern.
Our native climbing fern rarely
reaches more than feet. However,
1t has the honor of being the only
fern protected by a special act of
Legislature. At one time, Connec-
ticut found her native climber was
IN such demand in the autumn for
decorative purposes, mostly we'd
dlngs, that 1t was in danger of being
annihilated. So a law was passed
and the charming little climbing
fern was given an opportunity to
become abundant once more in a
few places where she was actually
fast approaching extinction.
Having a range from Massachu-
sets to Florida, this fern, like so
many other plants with a wide ter
r1tory, has acquired, through the
years, several names. Windsor fern
and Hartford fern refer, of course,
to the locality in which they were
once abundant; creeping, crawling
and snake-tongue fern, because of
their habits of travelling or sugges-
ton of form.
Our plant is member of the true
climbing fern family. All of its
10 or more species are climbers. If
you will look up the generic name
you will find that it means "f1ex-
ible" and this refers to the scandent
or climbing stems.
Our species love to creep over the
low thickets close to the banks of
streams or twine over the weeds
and small bushes growing in moist
situations.
The fronds are scattered on a
slender, cordlike root stock which is
hidden from our sight as it creeps
just below the surface of the soil
The stipe, or stalk, is a dark, glossy
brown, continuing through the frond
as the rachis (meaning "the con-
tinuation of the stipe through a
compound frondD.
Short, alternate branches grow
from the stipe; each is forked with

segments have a double row of al
ternating, scalelike indusia, each
covering and protecting an egg
shaped spore case.
When the spores are ripe they are
released and ride the winds or drop
to the feet of the parent plant. The
fertile part of the fern then dies
down, but the sterile frondlets re-
main green throughout the winter,
staying until spring, when the young
crosiers (unfurling fronds) appear.
In the autumn the fronds of the
climbing ferns are very attractive

Foreign currencies have crumbled.
Ours has stood firm. In most places
civil liberties have been DESTROYED.
Ours have been protected. Knowing
the fair-mindedness of the American
people, who view the record in the
light Of the problems and difficulties,
I think most of them on this night
are saying to Franklin Roosevelt,

servant"

to a pancile of several short, mar
