of-doors. It may be taken up and potted in the autumn, 
and placed in the greenhouse for the winter. If gown 
as a pot-plant for the greenhouse, an addition to the 
before-mentioned compost of one-fourth loam, with a 
small quantity of sphagnum, will be preferred, with a 
good drainage. Frequent syringing, or sprinkling with 
water, will be required, and still more so if grown in a 
stove. If grown in a Wardian case, the same compost 
as for pot culture will be suitable for it, and to be placed 
near the bottom of the case. 
This is one amongst many other Ferns that is suitable 
for growing under a glass shade or bell-glass by itself, 
looking very neat, and can be kept in a small room, not 
capable of accommodating a large case. 
It may be increased by division, or by filling a pot 
with small lumps of peat and freestone, and sprinkling 
the surface with the fructification of the Fern when just 
ripe. Keep the pot in a moist and warm place until 
the seedlings are up and large enough to finger, when 
they may be potted into small pots in little lumps, with 
the growing plants upon them. They must still be 
placed iu a close, shady situation until large enough to 
plant out finally.
