The tips of the leaves are getting brown and the plant isn‘t filling out the way 1 ex- pected it to. I think it’s getting enough light. and l fer- tilize it once a month according to the package instructions for house plants. What am I doing wrong? Boston ferns aren‘t quite as fussy as other plants as far as light requirements go, so the problem is very likely lack of moisture. Probably a couple of things. They like a nice humid atmosphere, something they just don't get in homes with drying central heating. Treat yourself to a “mister,” and mist the plant at least every other day to keep up the humidity in the air. Or. do what I do with mine. Put it in your bathroom. as long as there‘s enough light from a window. The water in the air from baths and showers HISTORIC CLOCK EXHIBITION IN OTTAWA “Say Peqinaw for the clocks with better movements," reads a sign at the National Museum of Science and Technology in Ottawa. It’s part of a permanent exhibition that includes 60 historic made-in-Canada wall and mantel clocks. The exhibit is part of a unique collection of 80 clocks made by the Pequegnat Clock Com- pany of Berlin (now Kitchener), Ontario. The Pequegnat clocks comprise the largest single collection of clocks made by one manufac- turer to be brought together in a public show. The original clock company, located in Breslau, near Kitchener, flourished in Canada from 1904 until a war-time scarcity of brass, in 1941, forced it to close its doors. Clock making was a tradition with the French- speaking Pequegants family long before they emigrated to Canada from Switzerland in April, 1874. In 1904, a catalogue listing 33 different styles of clocks for that year was published. They ranged from a $30 grandfather clock with “brass weights and leaded glass door” to a mantel clock called The Midget which was 17 inches high and made of “solid weathered oak and fine, robust quality brassf’ It cost $4 and could be purchased in quantity of $42 per dozen. BROADWAY DATSUN By Marion Bluegrass Mrs. H. G., Markham Paflfll'l/JaIf/Ufl Find a mate. Everything you want in a new truck, except a new price! '[f/Dfl riuhl (RICHMOND HILL) LTD. does wonders for it You're also over- fertilizing. In fact, some authorities recommend never fertilizing these ferns. They suggest you simply re-pot the plant in fresh soil about once a year. ' In any event, a monthly feeding is too much: You may also have noticed your fern has a number of “runners,” long leafless strands that appear from the same part of the base of the plant as the fronds. These can be cut off at soilâ€"level and discarded. They're aerial roots the plant can do without. Dear Marion: Are there some plants that don't need to be misted? I‘ve been doing it faithfully for all my house plants. Miss K. J., Maple. No, all plants don‘t need it, and some positively don‘t like it at all. Here's a good rule of thumb to follow: mist plants with smooth or shiny leaves. Don‘t mist plants that have hairy or fuzzy leaves. region gardener THINK INDEPENDENT! In Vaughan VOTE INDEPENDENT!
