Either of these will flourish in a shell and in a short timebe of sufficient length to twine around the wires and hang over the it abundantly, as constant moisture is an essential requisite to its growthand richness of color. If the hanging shell be kept in a room during winter where the temperatureis not allowed to go below fifty degrees, the lycopodium will thrive nicely.
