The best soil for ferns is a light, poms loam or leaf mold, half mold not too freely broken nor sifted and the other half well-rotted ma nure and sharp sand, equal ptirts, and well mixed. When potting drainage should be provided for by filling in first with charcoal, broken pots, coarse gravel or something similar. -Remember that ferns ob ject to stagnant moisture at their roots. The soil must not be kept constantly soaked, though they re quire a, soil kept on the moist rath er than the dry side, therefore pro vide good drainage. Give the plants plenty of light, a moderately warm and moist temperature, and they will soon adapt themselves to the living rooms. Surprised.
