In addition to the varieties of S. vulgare mentioned in this 
work there are many others (no less than seventy are grown 
at Kew), such as S. v. cristatwm (Fig. 665) and its sub-variety 
viviparum (Fig. 666), S. v. grandiceps (Fig. 667), S. v. ramo- 
eristatum (Fig. 668), S. v. sagittato-cristatum (Fig. 669), and 
S. v. sagittato-projectum (Fig. 670). For further details the reader 
is referred to Druery’s “ British Ferns” and Schneider's ‘‘ Book 
of Choice Ferns.”

SCORCHING. The Scorching or burning of foliage, 
both under glass and outside, is due to the prevalence of 
dry heat and lack of moisture. Under glass, Vines in 
the early portion of the season quickly have the tender 
young foliage scorched unless the ventilation is care- 
fully watched, especially in the mornings, when the sun 
suddenly breaks out with power, running up the internal 
temperature of the Vinery to a great height. Sometimes 
also the berries are scorched. 
To avoid Scorching the ventilators should be opened 
early, if the weather is mild, giving only a little air at

first, and gradually increasing the ventilation as the 
temperature rises, and reducing it if the thermometer falls. _ 
One of the gravest mistakes is to suddenly throw open 
the ventilators when the house is very hot to prevent 
Scorching and to lower the temperature. A violent check 
et a to the perspiring foliage, and mildew is sure to 
ollow.

July, in drills about Yin. apart, lightly covering them. 
When large enough to handle, the seedlings should be 
thinned ont to about Yin. apart in the rows; if necessary, 
the thinnings may be planted ont, and if watered will make

be ready to pick for use.
