MISS MARY E. MARTIN, FLORAL PARK, NEW YORK. 
ia 
Grand. Japanese Fern Balls. 
Balls have proved very attractive to flower lovers for house and 
conservatory culture. They are made in Japan from a special 
variety of Mountain Fern, and though they are brown and dry 
when received, they require only heat and moisture to start in 
to-lively growth. Set in a saucer or plate, partly filled with 
water and kept in a warm room they will soon be covered with 
a handsome growth of lovely emerald green fronds as shown 
in the illustration.

droughts. A deep velvety green is soon ob¬ 
tained by sowing this seed.
