If you look for other mosses, larger than the Lycopodkim., you can take the 

 Poh/stichum, or Hair Cup moss ; Pairaphis, or four toothed moss; Splacfmum, 

 or Umbrella moss. You will need plenty of these green mosses or white lichens 

 or the Sealing Wax moss, to pack about the roots of your plants, and help keep 

 up a cool, wild, woody home-like retreat. The following are the most generally 

 preferred Ferns : 



Polypodium, various species. 



Struthiopteris, Ostrich Fera. 



Fig. 51.— Group of Fern SheUs. 



Pteris, or Brocken. 



Adiantum, or Maiden Hair. 



Cheilanthes, or Lip Fern. 



Woodtvardia. 



Camptorum, or Walking Fern 



Asplenium, or Spleenwood. 



Dicksonia . 



Crystopteris, or Bladder Fern.
