in;e;tt11-atcr»°atUe-ri-11a.lt;■irwwf.KiPMrWWimeUflorMr. V. L. Clarke has been busily eft* j- gaged, during the past few weeks, in , i stocking IiU fernery in the rear of Will*.* I iams’ photograph gallery on Fort street, and now has between forty and fifty , varieties of Hawaiian ferns growing. The interior of the fernery presents .» very pretty appearance, and we think Mr. Clarke's experiment of domesticating Hawaiian ferns will prove a success. During a short visit we paid to the fernery yesterday morning we were shown a number of varieties of these beautiful plants ready for transfer to home fern cry s, and though our slight knowledge of ferns does not enable us to give their names, yet we could not help admiring their graceful forms and bright tint'i of green. A pretty device of Mr. Clarke’s is that of growing bunches of the smaller varieties in Mi pearl shells. Another attractive form 33 is that of mosses of acriel roots covered with mosses and ferns. Additions are 2 being made every day to the number Mi and variety of ferns and mosses and 41 the fernery will soon be one of the “show places of Honolulu. Mr. (\a t'Inrke deserves praise and encourage- le mcnt for inaugurating this new cnter-ilari-ro,Hionprise.sn 11.
