First Vear’s Growth, Second Year's Growth, 
DIRECTIONS FOR CULTIVATION. 
Soak the whole design for an hour or two in rain water. Let it drain, then 
hang up in greenhouse or window. It should be taken down and watered two or 
three times a week, and kept always moist according to the dryness of the atmosphere 
in which it is placed. In due time it will throw out a mass of dainty fronds. These 
are very pretty and will remain in luxuriance through the summer ; they will turn yellow 
in autumn and drop off. The Fern should be kept in a dry state during the winter 
months. Fresh fronds will come again with renewed vigour after the design or ball 
is watered in the following spring. Keep away from frost and gas as much as possible ; 
for early results it is best to start the growth in a greenhouse or conservatory on about 
the first of March.
