LYGCDIUM FROM SPORES. 



^y Lygodium scandens vines are 

 large and full of spores, but I do not 

 know how to get them to start. Do 

 their spores germinate? How can 1 

 collect them for sowing? W. G. — O. 



Lygodium scandons, sometimes pojdi- 

 larly called the "climbing fern," can 

 be readily jiropagated from spores. CIol- 

 lect the spores on a dark, sunless day 

 when they are slightly damp; usually 

 some of the fronds are carefully picked 

 off, laid on paper, then put in a paper 

 bag and stored away in an air-tight jar 

 in a dry room or shed. Before saving, 

 the spores should be passed through a 

 fine screen, voraging twenty squares or 



more to the inch, by rubbing. Gather 

 what has passed through carefully and 

 I)lace in a tight pjiper bag until sown. 



K(|ual ])arts of fine loam and peat, 

 with a generous addition of sharp sand, 

 make a suital)le medium on which to 

 sow fern spores. It sjiouhl be sterilized 

 by steam first t(t kill all weed seeds, 

 fungi, etc., and be allowed to cool before 

 spores are sown. Pans should be used 

 and tliese must be well dr;iined. Fill the 

 l>ans to within half an inch from the 

 tops and water two or three hours be- 

 fore sowing the spores. The water 

 should be sterilized by boiling and any 

 water used until the ferns germinate 

 should also be sterilized. It is impor- 

 tant to sterilize both soil and water. 

 After the spores have germinated the
