Decorative Plants and Ferns 
For house and porch plants or boxes no plants give better satisfaction than ferns, both on account 
of their beauty and the ease with which they may be kept in good condition. In addition to this 
many of them are of great value in shady places in outdoor planting. Used in this latter way, 
they lend a dainty touch to any spot that is hard to secure with other plants. In preparing tlK‘ 
soil for ferns, bone meal, and very well-rotted stable manure should be used liberally. 
While the decorative plants listed below are siitisfactory for house plants, most of them are 
also well adapted for planting out-of-doors in southern Florida. The list is well selected for trying 
house conditions.
