One good fern deserves I another. It’s fern time at Gardenway and This year the festival is bigger than ever at.each branch and of course, also at Merivale. You recall how Iwla Grandma’s Maidenhair provided a ready source fe of dainty sprays for buttonholes? Back in Victorian llof times the fern was well established as a house plant being suited to shade and less affected by gas. Today most homes would have one. Native tree and ground fems abound and thrive in groups f where together they create the conditions ferns " enjoy — shade and humidity. They also look well ** in groups and their lacey fronds bestow a serene ' « > quality. Whatever the reason, we believe you'll •take another fern home when you see the possibilities at Gardenway. Maidenhair ferns, $1.25. Pits $3.75, $4.99, $10.99 and $20.00. Will VOlff nottsd At Gardenway we believe that a container . J , handsome enough to complement a plsnts suiter trorn beautiful plant need not be an expensive heirloom. The Win Valley pot and saucer costropnoma I combination is perfect for ferns. They hold the drips — you can water without drowning the plant or spoiling a table. Their earthy browns, greys and greens in drip glazed .stoneware, are a perfect foil for ferns. From $3.25. Win Valley macrame bowls, also in stoneware are specially thrown with round bottoms to suit macrame. They are also attractively drip glazed. Prices from \57.50. You'll find many pots under $5.00 at ■ Gardenway. Hand made hanging bead pots SBKHk are from $2.99, Bob Huck's Tom Thumbs rwIWITO $1.50. True we have a few sculptures in pottery up to $3OO such as Graeme North's waterfall planters but there are many hundreds of pottery-pot and plant win Valley Saucer Pot combinations for only $2.75 complete. Good company — water and ferns. In. the wild, by. creeks and little streams, in bogs and damp rainforests where the rocks seem always wet, this is where you will find entrancing ferns just loving the wet conditions. Even in a small garden you can capture the spirit of the ferns. A damp problem corner • can become the showpiece of your garden,—or better still a place of JBBBjfy quiet beauty and restfulness. A 1 .place to feature a favourite JmP ornament or pot, o garden figure or <gmMF a fountain. When you visit WB Gardenway you’ll get the idea. Pu n S « fa Wolsf-sure" You can eliminate hand watering in your garden with 'Moist-sure'! •Moist-sure’ is o simple system which wets only where it; puts water only in the root zone of productive plants without_w«tage on weeds or empty ground. There are no mechanical parts, no gauges, no calculating If you have a handy tap give 'Moist-sure the watering chore and relax this Summer. The SP2S home garden irrigation kitset is sufficient for a typical front or a typical back garden. ■| Mrs Adams, 158 Beach Road, New Brighton recently won awards in each of four classes she entered in the garden competitions, including the New Brighton cup. A few weeks before, she bought a Gardenway 'Moist-sure' home garden irrigation kit. Mrs Adams found it quick and easy to install, and unobtrusive, ("You can scarcely catch a glimpse of it between my plants"), and she believes 'Moist-sure' has sustained her. roses at peak blooming. She has certainly had less weeding to do because, “the only wet areas are close to the plants and the water spreads out below the • surface’’. Mrs Adams will still be spending lots of time with her prize winning plants but the watering chore is taken care of. • ■' ...
