PLANTED BLOCKS OF CORK FOR SUSPENDING. VIRGIN CORK. 99 ! 
BLOCKS OF VIRGIN CORK PLANTED WITH FERNS FOR 
SUSPENDING. 
This is a novelty introduced by us and universally admired. In place of the stiff wire baskets we 
use pieces of cork, which, planted with ferns in a particular way, not only look more natural and 
more ornamental, but so planted we find many ferns to grow more satisfactorily. 
We can supply many varieties planted as above, suitable for stove, greenhouse, and dwelling-house 
cultivation, at Is. 6d., 2s. 6d., 3s. 6d,, and 5s. each. 
As an indication of the approval the planted corks meet with, we have made up large numbers 
specially for some of our customers, as many as 100 going to one place.

This very useful and ornamental bark is now so well known that it is almost unnecessary to say 
anything as to its value for covering bare walls in the Fernery or elsewhere, for making grottoes, 
imitation rockwork, hiding the edges of stages and shelves, and the many other purposes for 
which it may be utilised, in all of which it adds greatly to the appearance of the place where used.
