Twelfth street, Uelow Chestnut. Both 

 were plainly dad, evidently workers, 

 and not from the class who can ordi- 

 narily indulge in flowers, yet both gazed 

 intently and on the faces of both there 

 was keen appreciation of what they saw. 

 They turned to each other as though 

 moved by a aommon impulse. "Do you 

 know,*' one said, "I come two blocks 

 out of my way just to look at this win- 

 dow, even when I am dead tired." "I 

 come even farther," the other replied, 

 "it gives me so much pleasure that I 

 just wish Mr. Battles could know." 

 (I think he does know. — Phil.) 



A Fern. 



My friend, John Savage, once told me 

 that he thought the horticultural press 

 was all right provided it did not become 

 old-womanish. When I asked what that 

 meant he laughed a little and said it 

 meant giving experiences. He thought 

 giving too many experiences was a mis- 

 take. I have 80 rarely given experi- 

 ences that I am going to give one by 

 way of variety: 



There is a Boston fern that has stood 

 in the west window of a suburban home 

 in this city for nineteen years. It is 

 perfect in form and has an extraordi- 

 nary spread. It is now so big that it 

 cannot be potted any larger. Every 

 summer it is moved outside and all the 

 old fronds «nt off. When the new 

 fronds begin to appear it is fed with 

 liquid manure until fall. It is grown 

 on th« theory that it must reach per- 

 fection outside. As it will not improve 

 inside, the best that can be hoped is to 

 keep it in as good condition as it was 

 when brought inside.

kept by a grower of Bussell that show 

 he cut eighteen and a fraction flowers 

 to each plant that he grew last season. 

 Now, nine times eighteen is 162. So if 

 Premier will produce nine times as many 

 flowers as Eussell in a season it will 

 produce 162 blooms to a plant. 



(The "expert" probably said, or 

 tried to say, two to one, which is what 

 the introducer claimed. — Ed.)
