If you look for other mosses, larger than the Lycopodium t you can take the 

 Polystichum, or Hair Cup moss ; Patraphis, or four toothed moss; Splachnum, 

 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 : 



Potypodium, various species. 



Struthiopteris, Ostrich Fern. 



Fig. 51. Group of Fern Sheila. 



Pteris, or Brocken. 



Adiantum, or Maiden Hair. 



CheilantheSy or Lip Fern. 



Woodwardia. 



Camptosaurum, or Walking Fern. 



Asplenium, or Spleen wood. 



Dicksonia. 



Cystopterit, or Bladder Fern
