JAPANESE 

 FERN BALLS. 



IN southern Japan the long rhi- 

 zomes of the beautiful fern 

 Davallia Bullata, are collected 

 by the country people and wound 

 about balls of sphagnum moss. 

 These may be started into growth 

 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- 

 dy in New England.
