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 covered with a green moss-like 

 growth, and in a few weeks the little fern leaves will appear.
