Mounting Ferns
Dear Aunt Daisy, "Green Lady" may like to know the following method of mounting ferns: Pour a little liquid paste or gloy on to a piece of glass; spread a very thin coating with the tip of the finger over sufficient space to take the fern you wish to mount. Place the fern face up on the paste. Press lightly with the fingers, lift carefully, and place in position in the album. The most delicate ferns’ can be handled in this way without fear of damage. It is best to do one page at a time and to place a piece of paper over the ferns until next day. Keep the album under a heavier book. "Fern Frond," (Timaru), Many thanks, "Fern Frond." It is a very fascinating hobby to press and mount native ferns and flowers.
