Their adaptability to almost all conditions makes them the best decorative plant grown. Easy of culture, equally adapted for indoor or out, that no one should be without them. Use a soil composed of five parts; two parts of good garden soil, two parts finely screened peat or leaf mold from the woods, and one part sharp clean sand. This should then be thoroughly sterilized by putting in an oven and baking in order to destroy earth worms, etc. Place some broken pieces of pots or crocks and some charcoal in the bottom of each pot for drainage. A temperature of not less than 55 degrees F. should be maintained at all times, with a rise in the day time of 10 degrees to 15 degrees. Judg- ment should be exercised in watering. On warm days they should be syringed at least twice. Never allow them to be- come too dry. Insects which are most troublesome are thrips, red spider, scale and mealy bug. Thrips, red spider and mealy bug are easily prevented by a properly moistened atmosphere, also by spraying of foliage once a week with tobacco water, made the consistency of weak tea, and increased or decreased in strength as occasion demands. Teddy Junior. SGOTTII (Dwarf Boston or Newport Fern)—Much more bushy growth than the Boston. The fronds droop gracefully, but are not as long and heavy as the Boston. Very rapid grower. A great demand for house Fern. TEDDY, JR.—New dwarf Fern. Fronds are broad and beautifully tapered from base to tip, drooping just enough to make a graceful plant. Produces nearly four times as many fronds as any other Fern introduced. Compact, vigorous grower and thrives under most any condition. MAIDENHAIR FERN (Adiantum cimeatum)
