is taken with it; all through the summer it is grown out 
in the open, and during the winter the plants are simply

and where they are protected only from excessive wet

q N. nivea is a most useful plant where baskets of small 
% dimensions are required ‘for the warm house—it should 
at be kept very near the light, and in a position where no 
< syringing is likely to reach it; while as a Fern for a 
medium-sized hanging-basket, N. trichomanoides has few 
, equals, as its abundant fronds are most elegantly pen- 
z dulous. It requires to be grown in a light compost of 
4 either fibrons peat or leaf-mould and silyer-sand. We 
; find that the intermediate house is the place where it 
‘ thrives best, and where its fronds last the longest on 
q the plant, proyided they are kept perfectly dry at all 
‘ Seasons.
