Fern Culture. "".
Fern Culture. At a meeting of the Paxton Society at the U.C.N., Mr. Griffith, head-gardener to Mr. F. K. Roberb. Penywem, read an interesting paper on Fern Culture. Mr. Griffith said he did not purpose dealing with ferns in general, but to make a few simple remarks on the different varieties, and the method of culture of ferns suitable for the decora- tion of the conservatory, or the greenhouse, or the mansion, and of the latter in particular. To the average gardener, the supplying of plants for room decoration taxes his resources to the utmost, as the number of plants required for that purpose, together with the fact that the plants only remain in a fresh state for a short, time. often drive a gardener to his wits end to find a fresh supply of suitable plants to replace those that have become shabby, and unfit for further use. This may be relieved to some extent by the selection of suitable varieties ot ferns for that purpose, and in placing the plants as far as possible in favourable positions, and careful attention to the watering. Of the decorative value of ferns for this work there can be no dispute. Groups composed entirely of ferns form object of great beauty; so also do ferns when arranged among miscellaneous groups of plants. "Whether they be placed as individual specimens, or made a ground work, they have a charming effect, and show up the highly coloured foliage and flowers of the plants associated with them. The same may be said of the drawing room nothing can equal the beauty of a well-grown fern, 0 when placed in a suitable position in the drawing room, or any where it may be required. The varieties best suited for this purpose may be divided into two classes, viz., those which will do best when placed some distance from the light, and those that are less robust, and require a better situation. In the first lot I find the following varieties answer very well. Adiantum formosum. Asplenium BulbiferiiOi Fabianum. Elechnum braziliense. Davallia canariense, Nephrolepsis exaltata. Pteris critica. P. C. cristata. Pteris sarulata varie- gata. The second or more tender lot, may include, e! e Adiantum capillius-veneris imbricata, this variety has the decorative value and appearance of A. farliyense, but will thrive well in a cool greenhouse. A Cuneatum A. C. grandiceps. A. decorum. A. gracillimum A. williamsu, and A. pacottie, the last- named is chiefly valuable for button holes, and sprays for bouquets. Of course many other varieties could be named, but these will be sufficient for all ordinary purposes. Propagation—As this plarcll- April) is the proper time to commence growing ferns, we will take the mode of their propagation first. There are several ways to propagate ferns- from seed, from division of the crowns, and from small buds on the fronds, &c. AdianCums generally are best raised from seeds; generally, sufficient seedlings can be obtained from self-sown seeds know to the botanist as spores,which have fallen in damp places, or on the surface of pots which con- tain other plants which are growing together in a general mixed collection. If these young seedlings are taken up carefully, with every bit of root possible, and potted into small pots 2 or 2i inches across according to their size, they will make excellent material for decoration by the month of August, and prove of great value during the winter to fill small vases in the house, and also to furnish the front of stages in the fernery in the autumn and winter. In the following spring, these plants may be repotted into 4 or 6 inch pots according to the requirements of the place. By June they will be well furnished with fronds, and will be very use- ful for windowing, gardening, or for general decora- tion. If, however, sufficient plants cannot be obtained in this way, division of root must be resorted to. Select a healthy plant free from scale and other insect pests, and carefully wash away all soil from among the roots, then carefully pull the crowns apart leaving every root possible to the separated cr/wns. These may be potted into various sized pots to suit requirements, and kept close in a hand light, and shaded until the plants have established themselves again. The same treatment answers very well for most of the Pterii. Adiantum Formosum should be carefully shaken out, and the growing point, with as much root as possible selected and potted into 3 inch pots. Nephrolepsis may be propagated either by division as recommended for Adiantums or by pegging the creeping stems which produce bulbils, on a damp surface that they may throw out roots, and will soon become plants, which may be severed from the old plants without injury, and potted into 2 in. pots or several may be potted together into 4 in. pots to form specimen plants. Aspleniums may be pro- pagated from the tiny bulbils produced on the upper surface of their fronds. These may be taken off when large enough to handle. Prick them off into a light mixture of soil, with a layer of sand on the top. Atterthev have been carefully watered, place in a hand light and shaded, where they will soon become fine little plants. Blechnum brazil- iense is a very useful plant in a small pot. A very useful plant may be grown in a 3 in. pot. He obtained his plants from the offspring which grew from the stem of the old plant. These if taken off with as much root as possible, will make a beautiful plant by the end of the summer. The soil which he found to answer best for Adiantum Pteris Blechnnm and Aspleniums, was fibrous loam, two parts leaf mould, one part; and sand, one part. Sea sand answers very well where it can be obtained. If the loam be at all heavy, or wanting in fibre, add two parts leaf mould and a half of charcoal. For Nephrolepsis Davallias, give loam and leaf mould and sand in equal parts, with a double quantity of peat, pass the loam and peat over a half inch riddle, to take a portion of the fine out, as these two varieties love a coarse lumpy soil. The best time to pot ferns is in February or the beginning of March, it is better to attend to this matter just as the ferns are beginning to grow, and before the new foliage is developed. At this stage those to be divided may be done with the least injury to their roots and foliage. Pots must be clean when used. If they are new ones, they should be put in water until they cease to absorb it. A wet or dirty pot will cause the roots to adhere to the sides, so that it will be im- possible to turn the plant out for repotting, without leaving a lot of the best roots behind, and thereby causing injury. The pots should be carefully crocked, by putting a piece of broken pot large enough to covert the hole. with the hollow side downwards, afterwards placing smaller pieces of this to the depth of an inch or so. according to the size of the pot. Over these place a layer of moss or leaves to prevent the soil from being washed down among the crocks, and stopping up the drainage, which would cause the soil to "turn sour. Put a little soil on the moss, and after the plant to be potted has been carefully turned out place it in and carefully press it down, and fill all around the ball, with new soil, make it firm with the potting stick, taking care that sufficient room is left for watering, say from £ in. to an inch, accord- ing to the size of the pot used. The plants to be repotte(I ;Iioul,l neither be wet nor should they be too dry. If too wet they will become very hard after being repotted, if too dry the water will not penetrate to the old stem, but will become dust dry, and the plant will be sure to suffer. Watering —The watering of ferns is of more importance than most people imagine, in fact it is the most important point in the successful cultivation of ferns, no matter how carefully they pot their plants, or with what care they mix the soil, unless they arc carefully watered afterwards their labour will be in vain. After the plants have been potted let them have a good watering, this will generally be sufficient for -three or four days, afterwards examine the plants every day, and water all that are in need, and, also, those that are likely to want water before the usual time of watering next day, as it is better to water a plant a little before it wants than allow it to get dry. The soH in which ferns are grown should always be kept moist, and should on no account be allowed to get dry, nor should too much water be given to cause the soil to get sodden and sour. These two extremes must be avoided or disaster will surely fellow. After the roots have filled the pots, more water will be required, in fact it is surprising what a large quantity of water is required by a healthy plant. The plan iiig saucers under the pots to save labour in watering, is to be condemned, as it has a tendency to make the soil in the pots sour. I Moisture in the atmosphere is very important, especially during the season of growth, this can best be done by watering among the plants, and the paths, and walls of the house. In hot weather this will be most beneficial, not only fer the sake of moisture, but to. keep down the temperature. A dry atmosphere not only retards the development of foliage, but it encourages insects of various kinds, yet too much moisture must not be given, especially in winter, as this may cause the foliage to damp off. Discretion must be exercised in order to obtain the conditions most congenial to the plants by attention to temperature, height, shade, moisture, ? and ventilation. AToid excess in all things. The common idea that ferns should be cut down, is a very wrong one. This should not be done while the fronds are green, only remove them as they become discoloured, or, are in the way of the development of new foliage. If the old fronds are thinned out and the young ones retained, these will tend tQ draw the new foliage out, for when ferns are cut down, the first crop of fronds are very dwarf, but if a portion of the old fronds are left on until the new growth is well advanced, the first fronds attain a better size than would otherwise be the case. The old frond may be removed as it becomes necessaxy. This paper would not be com- plete without a word on the cultivation of ferns in baskets, these are indispensable for the decoration of the conservatory and fernery, and drawing room. The best varieties for this work, in his opinion, were A Cuncatum, A Gracillimum, Pteris Critica, and D. Mooriana, and D. Figiensis. The baskets most suitable for this work are the plain galvanized wire ones 12' inches across, as the more ornamental ones are very difficult to deal with, and they also look artificial, and are not in' character with the plants. Line the basket with large flakes of green wood moss.. place the green side out, when the basket has been filled with moss and soil until it is half-full, put in three small plants out of thumb pots. This may be done by drawing the fronds of the plants through the holes. in the wire basket until the crown presses against the side, then fill up the basket, leaving room for a good plant to be put in the centre. When the ferns are planted the centre should be lower than the sides, otherwise when water is given it will run over instead of through the soil. Ferns, generally, do not grow well in dwelling houses, but if a little thought and attention be given them, it is surprising what fine plants may be grown indoors. Examples in this direction may be seen in the specimens which are grown by cottagers at our shows. He remembered being shown three beautiful specimens which were grown by a lady on the Marine-terrace, Abervst- wyth, entirely without the aid of a greenhouse. One common cause of failure is the want of light, and inattention to watering. Ferns have a better chance in a large room than in a small one, as the changes of temperature are neither so sudden nor so extreme. They are often killed by not having sufficient light, in dark corners far away from the windows, they soon become sickly and die. It is impossible for plants to be healthy and strong without plenty of light. They should be as near the window as possible, but not in the direct rays of the sun. They should not be placed in positions where draughts will catch them. Water must be given in sufficient quantities, and often enough to keep the soil damp. They should be examined every day, and watered if required. Small plants will require watering oftener than large ones, and those that are in warm oftener than those in cold rooms. Water the same temperature as the room should be given. They must not be allowed to stand in saucers of water, as this causes the roots to rot. Water must always be given from the top, and not put in saucers, as is often the case. Kain water is preferable where it can be obtained. When the plants get dirty they should be cleaned with a soft sponge and warm water. It is not good to syringe ferns, or put them outside when it rains.
Garden Notes for the Month.
Garden Notes for the Month. FLOWER GARDEN'.—The planting of hardy peren- nials from pots may still be done with success, but early flowering kinds must not be expected to bloom satisfactorily until the following year. Sow seeds of hardy annuals ani perennials early in the beginning of the month, and tender annuals towards the end. Prick off early, and those sown where they are to remain must be thinned before they have suffered from overcrowding. Reduce the number of stems of phloxes and other subjects of a similar habit of growth to give each one room for its proper development. Harden off tender plants to be bedded out. FRUIT GARDEN.—Continue to protect wall trees, and when canvas is used remove during the day, as coddling will do more harm than the frosts. Give abundance of water to fruit tress in pots, and, indeed, to all fruit trees under glass. KITCHEs GARDEN.—Successional sowings of the several crops must be made, and where seed sow- ing was delayed last month it must be done as early in this as possible. Sow long pod beans, marrow peas for late summer supplies, also beet and carrots for main crop, the former towards the end of the month in rather poor ground. Plant out cabbages and cauliflowers raised under glass, and complete the planting of potatoes. Ply the hoe vigorously to keep down weeds.

FOOTBALL. ABERYSTWYTH Y. OSWESTRY UNITED. A Combination match was played between Aberystwyth and Oswestry United on the former's ground on Good Friday. This was the first meet- ing between these teams this season. There was a large attendance of spectators, and notwithstand- ing the heavy rains which fell during the earlier part of the week, the ground was in good con- dition. Both sides were strongly represented, and for this match Aberystwyth had secured the services of Storey, who played at centre forward. The teams lined out as follows :— Aberystwyth—Goal, Roose backs, C. Parrv, and G. Evans; half-backs, W. Jones, J. H. Edwards (capt), and D. M. Evans forwards, T. Whelan, J. Eva,s, G. Storey, A'. Green, and O. James. Oswestry -Goal, Roberts hacks, Lloyd and Wat-kins half- backs. Gladstone Davies, Barratt, and T. Griffiths; ioiwards, Wellings, Mark Watkins, Fred Benbow, T. Parry, and D. Davies. Referee, Mr Townsend, Newtown. Aberystwyth, losing the toss, kicked off from the town end against a stiff breeze and a dazzling sun. The Oswestry left wing, getting the ball, trans- ferred to the centre. Parry failed to ger- in his kick, and Gr. Evans. who covered iiim. kicked over his own, head. Roose then attempted to save a corner, bnt was tackled with the ball in his possession, and a minute from the start an easy goal was scored by the visitors. On the kick-out Oswestry again surrounded the home goal, but when they looked like scoring, one of their players handed the ball. From the free kick, Aberystwyth relieved their citadel from danger. For the first five minutes play was distinctly in favour of the visitors, the ball scarcely crossing the half-way line. Storey at length changed the complexion of the game by a good dribble, and then a fine transfer to lvhelin on the wing. One of the Oswestry forwards again handed the ball. and Parry placed, the free kick well amongst his for- wards. The ball. however, was sent behind. Again a free- was awarded against Oswestry for hands," but with the same abortive result. A fine burst was made by Whelan and Evans from the half-way line,.and the former centred. Green, however, in an attempt to head the ball into goal, sent, it behind. Combination amongst the home forwards was conspicuous up to now by its entire absence, aad the visitors' front rank showed greater activity in dealing with it when once they secured possession. Still Aberystwyth claimed a fair share of the game, and the visitors' defence was severely tested on two or three occasions. Oswald put in. a good centre, but J. Evans missed a good opportunity to send the ball into the net. r onowing. the kick-out, Green made a tricky dribble down the field, but his shot for goal also proved unsuccessful. The homesters were now more on the aggressive, and made some dangerous attacks on their opponents' goal. The game was chiefly re- markable for the number of free kicks given against each side. Aberystwyth at length equalised by a smart bit of play. G. Evans kicked the ball from close on the touch line to the centre, and the forwards endeavoured to rush it through. This was unsuc- cessful, and then Whelan came up and put in a stinging shot, which the goalkeeper failed to hold. After this Oswestry had a turn at attacking, and a really fine shot was put in by one of their half- backs. Roose s goal-keeping, however, was equal to it, and he fisted the ball into touch a good way down the fiield. Even play followed till the interval, when the score stood— HALF-TIME SCORE. Aberystwyth. 1 goal Oswestry l Roai. Oswestry re-started, and play for some time ruled in favour of the home forwards. J. Evans sent in a warm shot, which he followed up smartly, but the goalkeeper cleared in the nick of time. Os- westry then rallied, and endeavoured to take up the aggressive. They were penalised for a foul, and the ball was returned into their own territory. Some brilliant play followed on the part of the home forwards. D. M. Evans gave a fine transfer to Oswald, who kicked to Whelan on the opposite wing. The latter put in a beautiful shot, which just missed the net by inches. The front rank were not to be denied, and they, kept up some brisk shooting, and eventually secured the first corner of the game. This proved a near thing for goal, the custodian making a clever save. The ball was then sent to the Oswestry right wing, who made a swift dribble down the field. It was then transferred to the centre, who kicked it too hard, and. Roose running out sent it back to his- forwards. The visiting goal was again in danger,, but the ball eventually went behind. The ensuing play was fast and exciting, both goals being.attacked in turn. Aberystwyth had hard lines in not scoring ou the last occasion, the ball being kicked to and fro in the goal mouth, and. all attempts to kick it into the net were failures. Aberystwyth received a free kick for a foul thjtow in, and Parry, as usual, made no mistake in placing it. For an informality the homesters also secured another free kick for a foul commit.ted just outside the 12. yards, line, and from this they were distinctly uulucky in not scoring. Parry, who was close up. put in the first shot, and then Oswald put in another. The latter was placed just under the cross-bar, and just within the custodian's reach, who effected a clever save. Aberystwyth continued to keep up the pressure, and again they were awarded a free-kick. Again it was placed with sure judgment, but the forwards could not deal with it effectively. Arthur Green was badly fouled at this point of the game, but he pluckily continued to play, although a re-arrangement of the forward line was necessi- tated. On resuming, some uninteresting play ensued, although Aberystwyth were pressing all the time. At length Oswald got a clear pass on the wing from one of the halves, and he sent the ball across the goal-mouth. Green, who was now playing on the opposite wing. received it, and with an irresistible shot scored the second and winning goal. The town made strenuous efforts to increase their lead, and pressed right up to the finish. 1 inal Score- Aberystwyth 2 goals. Oswestry 1 goal. REMARKS. Although devoid of exciting incidents, the game was an interesting one to witness. The score is a fair criterion of the play, although the goal scored by Oswestry was a doubtful one, it being contended that the ball had gone behind before Roose touched it. Still, during the first half of the game Oswestry had the better of the play. Their combination was good, and they were particularly smart in dealing with the ball. The second half, however, saw a change, Aberystwytb being on the aggressive almost the whole of the time. The visitors pre- sented a sterling defence, and this saved them from a heavier defeat.
Welsh Cup Tie Final.
Welsh Cup Tie Final. MAGNIFICENT VICTORY FOR ABERYSTWYTH. After a series of stubborn contests well and bravely fought Aberystwyth succeeded this season in securing a place in the final round for the Welsh Cup. The event came off at Newtown on Easter Monday before an enthusiastic and orderly crowd numbering about 3,000, the takings at the gate being £ 83. Many years ago, determined efforts were made by the Mechanics to bring the Cup below the Dovey, and they got as far as the semi- final when they were checked by the Druids. For some years after a team could not be mustered to chase the, Cup, but matters revived about eight years ago when Jack Garner took command of the team and when the business branch was placed on a firm and lasting basis by Mr. T. H. Edwards. In 1895 they worked their way to the semi-final, when Wrexham met and beat them so ignomi- niously at Welshpool, Roose sparing us from an everlasting disgrace. This year the rival team was Druids, the holders for the past two years, and who have this season a splendid record, being third in the combination. The weather was fine and dry, but a strong wind blew across the field nearly in the direction of goal to goal. The Druids were fully represented, and their team included the following players, viz::—Goal,. T. Pryce;, backs, Charlie Thomas (right), A. Hughes (left) halves, A. Potts (right), T. Davies (left), J. Price (centre) forwards, C. H. Spencer, W. Butler (right),.J. Davies (centre), W. Davies (left inside), R. Jones (outside). The Aberystwyth team comprised the under- mentionedGoal, 1" R. Roose; backs, Charlie Parry (right), George Evans (left) halves-, Willie Jones (right), J. 1L Edwards (captain) (centre), D. Michael Evans (left); forwards, T. Wheelan (right outside). J. Eval1 (inside), Storey (centre), Oswald James (left outside), Arthur Green (inside). Referee, R. T. Goagh. Linesmen, J. Pugh, New- town; and Smith, Welshpool. Druids won the toss, and Aberystwyth kicking off against the wind, at once made an acquaintance with the opposing defenders. Helped by the strong wind the ball was returned, but Parry stopped its pro- gress, and whilst attempting to clear George Evans headed to corner. This was taken by Spencer who dropped it in fine position, but Parry cleared to mid field. Dan Michael distinguised himself early by some dashing and j udicious playing. Finding his forwards watched he sent a ripping shot across field to Wheelan, who broke away to within a few yards of goal, when A. Hughes, robbed him. Druids again ran down and made their first attempts at scoring which, however,. went wide.. From the kick off, a pretty piece of work was wit- nessed. Arthur Green secured the ball, dribbled cleverly past his opponents' half backs, and got within easy reach of the Druids goal, when finding his course blocked by the backs be transferred to Oswald, who was obviously off side.. This class of play was continually repeated and the combination of the seasiders was improving as the match went on, and the appreciation of the onlookers was evoked in hearty and loud cheers. Little labour was necessary on the part of Druids to send the leather towards Roose as once it got to the air the wind carried it a long distance. Chiefly on this account the Druids made two tries in succession at scoring but the first shot was about a yard too high and the other from Ralph Jones went wide. The play for some time after this was in our favour, and two fouls on the part of Druids nearly cost them dearly. In the first case Green all but did the trick from Parry's kick, and in the other the ball dropped on top of the net close by the cross bar. Storey continued to keep his wings together in an.admir- able manner, and eventually as a result of brilliant combination in which John Henry and Storey were prominent, Green passed to Oswald who com- pelled Pryse to handle. Back came the Druids again thirsting for points, and Roose was called upon to stop a shot from Ralph Jones, which looked all the world like scoring. In a manner which drew a hearty applause from supporters of. both teams Roose saved and conceded a corner which proved futile owing to Spencer's wide shooting. The tables were again turned thanks to Storey and Green. The latter was evidently marked but it was only by a fluke that a shot from him at this time was saved. Pryce did not clear well and the ball rebounded to Green, who in turn passed to Oswald, and from what seemed an impossible position he sent in the first goal in lightning fashion. A better goal was never scored at a Welsh Cup match. The reverse nettled the Druids who endeavoured to keeptbeir quarters clear, but their opponents had not counted upon drawing first blood, and encouraged by their success John Henry's vanguard Qontinued to press hard. Whelan secured and made a fine run along the line and centred neatly from an awkward angle. Charlie Thomas cleared but the ball again returned to his territory and a free-kick was conceded for a.foul on his part. It bore no fruit and the Druids.woke up in earnest once more giving Roose trouble on several occasions. His play was too clever to describe, he guaged the shots with precision and in every instance cleared so well as to offer no chance to the Druids to return the compliment. About five minutes before half- time the Druids became desperate but they were kept at a respectable distance from Roose and just before the whistle blew the play was in our favour. In the second half, Druids had to face the wind and being anxious to equalize, they at once made 11 y tracks for Roose who could not be found napping. Their outside right sent in a nice shot but Roose saved easily.. A foul gave them another chance and Roose was called upon, to handle. Steadily the ball fouud, its way to the other end of the field and Charlie Thomas had to concede a corner. Oswald placed it in front at the goal mouth and Green headed into the net, thus increasing the score to two to nil. Oswald and Green continued to distinguish themselves and gave Charlie Thomas and Co. more than enough to do. They kept pegging at the goal, and a shot from Johnny Evans all but got through. For some minutes the scene changed to Wheelan's wing, where tricky and clever play was seen j- his manoevures gave the Druids trouble, for as. a result of his centering Willie Jones caused Price to use his fists. The ball was but feey cleared, and taking advantage of this Green sent in a magnificent shot, but Price managed to save. After a spell of even play, when football of a high order prevailed, a threatening attack was made 00 Roose, and on three occasions he saved shots which stunned the crowd, and practically broke the hearts Gf his opponents. Fortunately, the pressure was relieved by Parry and Evans, and the spectators were once more treated to a fine display by Storey. Securing the ball about midfield he dribbled past the Druids backs, and at a terrific pace broke loose, chased by Charlie Thomas and others, Storey kept perfectly cool, and when near goal he completely baffled Price with the third goal. The Druids, desirous to regain lost ground, changed the position of their players, Charlie Thomas going to the forward rank. Despite all this, their play could not b8 improved upon, and although they did not relax their efforts to the last they had to be content to return home thoroughly beaten by THREE GOALS TO KONE. f REMARKS. The style of play was in every respect above reproach and far superior to what the most ardent supporter of the town had dreamed of. No weak spot could be found amongst the eleven players, and it would be unfair to single out any of them as having excelled. Every man stuck to his. position throughout the game, every one worked hard, with judgement, precision, and unison. The combina- tion was well nigh perfect, the rules of the game were strictly observed, and there was nothing wanting to make the game interesting. In the opinion of those qualified to speak, no better play has ever been shown at any previous match for the Welsh Cup. Congratulations to' Messrs. John Henry and Co., and also to the Committee.
