JAPANESE 

 FERN BALLS. 



IN southern Japan the long rhi-

 Davallia Bullata, are collected 

 by the country people and wound 

 about balls of sphagnum moss.

 by immersing them in water until 

 saturated, then hanging them in 

 a moderately warm temperature. 

 They should be immersed every 

 two or three days. They may be 

 dried off and allowed to rest dur- 

 ing summer and started again in 

 autumn. Davallia Bullata is har-
