MISS MARY E. MARTI.\\ FLORAL PARK, NEW YORK. 



Grand Japanese Fern Balls. 



These pretty- 

 Japanese Fern 



Balls have proved very attractive to flower lovers for house and 

 conservatory culture. They are made in Japan from a special 

 variety of Mountain Fernj and though they are brown and dry 

 when received, they require only heat and moisture to start in 

 to lively grewth. Set in a saucer or plate, partly filled with 

 water and kept in a warm room they will soon be covered with 

 a handsome growth of lovely emerald green fronds as shown 

 in the illustration.
