NOKTH ADAMS, MASS. 



Robert Groves, who began in the fern 

 business here a few years ago on a 

 rather modest scale, estimates that his 

 requirements this season will be over 

 25,000,000. He now has a large number 

 of pickers out on the hills for a dozen 

 miles surrounding the town. The pick- 

 ers are paid at the rate of 40 cents 

 per thousand, or a penny a bunch, for 

 the ferns delivered. Last year Mr. 

 Groves shipped about 15,000,000 ferns 

 from this section. In addition to the 

 pickers he employs young men desig- 

 nated as scouts, whose business it is to 

 travel over the country and locate 

 promising places. Time was when all 

 that was necessary to do was to go into 

 the woods and pick ferns, but now it is 

 a quite general custom for the prop- 

 erty owner to require payment for the 

 privilege of picking ferns on his land. 

 After a tract has been picked over the 

 ferns will not be of their normal 'size
