Japanese Fern Balls ( “ Davallia Bullata.”) 
These are pretty novelties in Ferns from Japan. The balls or designs should be immersed a 
few hours in te])id water, and then hung up in the Greenhouse. They require to be soaked once or 
twice a week, and in a short time produce a mass of fronds that cover their entire surface. 
W'e can supply balls or rings in a dry state without fronds, i/-, i/fi and 2/- each. Other designs 
can be supplied at various prices.

728 1 e p i do p h y 1 la (T/ie Resurrection 
Plant), a great curiosity. The 
stems of the plant when dry roll 
up into a ball, and the plant can 
be laid away and kept in a dry 
state for months, apparently 
dead ; but when placed in water 
they, in a few hours, unfold, and 
become as green and beautiful 
as if they had been growing all 
the time. They grow without 
soil ... dry plants, qd. & i o

-1 The Gardens, Thorndale. 
The Cinerarias have been remarkably tine both as to s1?e of bloom and quantity. Some 
of the plants sent out side shoots from the base, w'lfich notfcnly prolonged the flowering period 
but also made the plants one mass of bloom. I hav^TTow got the Calceolarias just coming in, 
and for richness of colour and size of bloom I should think they are unequalled, many of the 
blooms measuring 2lin. across. I scarcely think it possibTe for you to effect any further 
impnivements in your various strains. N. J. WTLLI.VMS.
