Come and admire even if you don't intend to buy. You'll see ferns from all over the world selected by nurserymen and grown to perfection to be admired in your home, enjoyed in your garden. You'll see how to set ferns off in baskets just made for ferns by Helen McGregor or in handmade pottery from the kilns of Trevor Briggs and Brent Firkin. Useful accessories likes moss, misters, watering cans and canes abound and there's a helpful one pager, "One good fern deserves another," free to everyone, with enough information to ensure you get it all together with ferns. This week we feature the Boston Lace Fern. Also aptly named the ladder and cascade fern. They are the most spectacular indoor ferns and lend themselves to a number of special treatments. For example suspended in macrame or perched to cascade from a ledge or shelf. Nurserymen call them Nephrolepis and collect varieties from the tropics of America and Africa and even from Australia. At Gardenway we've selected the easy to grow varieties U.S.A, and maasii and offer these in 4 sizes ranging from 4" pots at $4.99 to magnificent specimens in 10" pots at $30.00. Nephrolepis can stand quite high room temperatures, if required to, provided they are kept moist and protected from strong sun. H Legends of the ferns. The Maori sauna was invented to ease a number of ills. Stones heated in a fire pit were covered with leafy branches chosen to give off suitable vapours and doused with water to give off steam. A flax mat covered the branches and the patient sat atop wearing a voluminous cloak within which were retained. The effectiveness of this sauna was enhanced by the natural bush setting. Today we also recognize that care with "atmosphere" and mood add to the effectiveness and to the enjoyment of a sauna or spa. It would be hard to imagine a more perfect setting for either, than trees and ferns. New Zealand tree ferns bring the incomparable atmosphere of the bush right into your garden. At Gardenway we have potted Pungas in full frond, height 2-sft. Mostly $5.99, $7.99 and $9.50. Choose a spot away from N.W. winds and we'll show you how to grow them even in a sunny place. Selection includes Prince of Wales : ' ferns. For this Festival there is also a selection of N.Z. ground ferns of many species, $1.99.
