 the Plumosus. It is especially val- 

 uable for window box and hanging 

 basket planting, for vases and as 

 specimens when grown in pots or as 

 tub plants. The Feather Fern ou 

 Asparagus Sprengerii gives us ai 

 more valuable house plant, being one 

 of easy culture, the sprays growing 

 four to five feet long, and when the 

 foliage is used for cut-flower work it 

 retains its freshness for an Unusual 

 length of time. The Feather Fern is 

 particularly free from troublesome 

 insects or diseases. The plants are 

 of rapid growth, succeeding well in 

 ordinary rich soil. Nice strong grow- 

 ing young plants, 24c each; 3 for
