FERNS. 



Ferns cannot be dispensed with in parlor or conservatory decoration ; 

 by careful management they add much to the beauty of an apartment. 

 A Wardian case, or fernery, is the best protector against the dry, hot 

 atmosphere. The Gold and Silver Ferns should not be Avatered over 

 the leaves. The Pteris Argyrea can be planted out in rich ground in a 

 shaded situation, where they will make a luxuriant growth and rich 

 display. The following is a list of the easy-growing varieties.
