 The genus Adiantum furnishes us some of the most 

 useful and popular species of commercial ferns. They 

 are easy of cultivation. They need a slightly shaded 

 position, moderately moist atmosphere, and a temp, of 

 60-05° F. The soil should be composed of rich loam and 

 leaf-mold in e.|nal parts, and shonl.l be kept moderately

 spores, if sown on a compost consisting of half each of 

 finely screened, clean soil and leaf-mold or peat, and 

 placed in a moderately moist and shady place in the 

 greenhouse in a temp, of 60° F. To be grown most 

 economically, they should be transplanted in clumps 

 of 3 or 4 plants as soon as the first pinnie have appeared, 

 and, as soon as strong enough, potted oif, either in 

 clumps or singly.
