BLOOMINGTON, ILL. 



The Illinois State Florists' Associa- 

 tion meets at Bloomiugton, Tuesday and 

 Wednesday, February 19 and 20. The 

 Bloomington Florists' Club is sparing no 

 pains to make this the banner meeting. 

 It kas secured Odd Fellows' hall. It is 

 located one block from the court house, 

 and has plenty of room for the meeting 

 and exhibits. The exhibition committee 

 is already assured that there will be a 

 good exhibit of cut flowers, including 

 many of the new carnations, also a good 

 display of florists' supplies. Blooming- 

 ton has good hotel accommodations at 

 reasonable rates and good street car 

 service. A. R. Knowles. 



A FERN HOUSE. 



What is the ideal house for growing 

 ferns and how should it stand, east and 

 west or north and south! 



A north and south house is, without 

 doubt, suitable for the growing of ferns, 

 as many ferns are shade-loving plants. 

 Those that will endure the direct rays of 

 our summer sun, such as the nephrolepis, 

 will get suflieient sunlight from an even- 

 spaa house wjth north and south ridge. An 

 east and west house would be sure to 

 need the southern slope shaded in sum- 

 mer time. 



Tropical ferneries, even in England, 

 are often excavated, the floor of the 

 houses being several feet below the 

 grade of the surrounding surface. This 

 is perhaps done to obviate so much need 

 of fire heat. While the majority of ferns 

 that we florists grow like a warm tem- 

 perature, few, if any, like fire heat at 

 their roots. There is no need of ex- 

 cavating for the fern house. It is too 

 expensive; but I should build the walls 

 of brick and place the heating pipes on 

 the walls, or anywhere except beneath 

 the benches, and the floor of the house 

 should be the natural surface, or two 

 inches of fine gravel spread over the 

 surface. There is a natural humidity 

 rising from mother earth which is con- 

 genial to ferns, and if the floor of the 

 house was cement or tile you would have 

 to be continually dampening down to 

 create the same moisture. 



There is no need of side ventilation 

 in your walls. Plenty of ventilation at 

 the ridge is all you need. The ferns in- 

 clude such a numberless family, and 

 their natural environments differ so 

 widely, that it would be difficult to build
