A GOOD FERN FOR AMATEURS
Among the many plant* that amateur* «’’light to grow, the maidenhair, with it* many varieties, is still the mo*t popular, but where one succeeds there are 99 that tail to grow it well all the year round. In taking notes of really good specimens of any exotic fern that have been grown by amateurs nearly all the year round in the dwelling house. I find that Asplenium biforme is one of the very best, for it
is even more effective during the winter than in the siinnner months. It is so easily increased, and is so useful, even in the tiny thumb-pots, that, whether for table decoration or for large vases it is equal I \ effective. J.G.
