The seedlings are rather tender and should be kept in a temperature of 70° at night, given a good allowance of moisture and shaded from the full sun, it being a well-known fact that many plants require more or less shading when grown under glass, even though they may endure full sunshine when growing in the open air. The ferns that have been brought in from outdoor frames require plenty of light and air, for when they are placed in too close and dark a house they will soon grow long and drawn, and thus become useless for filling table ferneries. The adiantums in particular require lots of ventilation at this season to avoid damping of the foliage, and if these useful though tender ferns are grown in a rather stiff clay soil the foliage will be shorter and more sturdy than that of plants that are potted in a light com- post. Young adiantums may still be shifted on from thumbs to 3-inch pots, or from 3-inch to 4 inch pots as may be necessary, and should be in nice condition by the beginning of the year. Very few of the many forms of Adi- antum Capillus-Veneris, or common Maidenhair, are of any value to the flprist, from the fact that this fern is liable to get more or less rusty in foliage during the winter, and owing to the creeping rootstocks the plants may soon grow out nf shape, thus becoming much less satisfactory for most purposes than A. cuneatum. A. rhodophyllum forms a very pretty close growing small plant, its large primules reminding one of A. Farleyense, and like the latter this species may only be propagated freely by divi- sion, a process that is more satisfactory when performed during the spring and summer months than it is at this late season.
