you have, choose that window for the Lady 
Ferns you may wish to grow indoors. Place 
the pots containing them, if you will, on the 
window-ledge, or suspend them in mid-window 
by a cord depending from the top, and holding 
a wire basket or other receptacle. The pot 
saucers should be kept half-full of water, so as 
to keep the beautiful plants moist and cool. 
Provide for them soil of rich loam, leaf-mould, 
peat, and sand. Then they will thrive luxu- 
riantly in their adopted home ; and from 
window-sill or mid-window will smile on you 
thankfully.
