FERNS 



Ferns. 



Tender Perennial 



Ferns can be grown easily from seed. Fill 

 a clean pot with fine earth. Put the pot in a 

 saucer and immerse with boiling hot water to 

 kill all weed seeds or insects in the soil. After 

 the soil has cooled strew the fern seed over 

 the top of the soil but do not cover it. Put a 

 piece of glass on top of pot, and keep the 

 saucer full of water. Never put water on top 

 of soil. In a short time the soil will be cov- 

 ered with a green moss-like growth, and in a 

 few weeks the little fern leaves will appear. 

 The young sprouts should then be trans- 

 planted into small boxes or pots.
