A HANDSOME BASKET FERN. 



A most attractive feature at the Lincoln 

 Park Conservatories, Chicago, is a 

 24-inch wire hanging basket containing a 

 fine specimen of the beautiful Polypodium 

 subauriculatum. Some of the pendent 

 fronds are ten feet long. This plant is 

 from a small piece obtained about six 

 years ago from Headgardener Pfister, at 

 the White House, Washington. It has 

 certainly made a wonderful growth and 



is a remarkably handsome specimen. The 

 house has a night temperature of 65° to 

 75° and about 10° higher in day time. 



Mr. Stromback thinks it could be 

 readily propagated from runners, and 

 also from spores which seem to be 

 produced freely. Such specimens would 

 be grand for decoration, and Mr. 

 Stromback thought the fern could be 

 so used if first hardened b}' keeping in a 

 lower temperature for a time.

 51 Wabash Avenue, - CHICAGO. 



Mr. N. Grkivklding, of Merrill, Wis- 

 consin, has in use a boiler made of fifty 

 pieces of 2-inch pipe, the grate bars be- 

 ing also of pipe through which is a flow 

 of water, and he reports that it has 

 worked very satisfactorilj- with him. He 

 considers it the most economical and best 

 boiler he has ever had on his place.
