want water. It can be plunged i in sand ‘ashes i in the open, and 
just as the flowers commence to expand, transfer to a cool frame.

ferns. Capsules eight to fifteen, opening by a slit down 
the side, sessile, very close but not concrete, arranged 
in linear-oblong or boat-shaped sori near the edge of 
the frond. These ferns require a very “liberal supply of 
water, and plenty of room to fully expand. The most © - 
suitable compost is a mixture of strong loam and peat, `% zu 
with some sharp sand. Thorough drainage must be ` 
afforded.

the leaves. The leaves are evergreen, and arranged in two 
rows, the ‘one opposite to the other, and, in many kinds, 
being curved, give the plant a very graceful appearance. 
The fact of these plants producing their blooms during 
the winter—a period when flowers are generally scarce— 
They usually continue 
six or eight weeks in “perfection, or even more. The fol- 
lowing table of night temperatures should be almost uni- 
versally adhered to for all the species e erated, except ` 
5A. falcatum, which thrives best in a cool house. From 
“November to. February, 58deg. to 63deg. ; March to May, 
‘September and October, 65deg?; Jüne to August, 70deg-
