96 THE AQUATIC GARDEN. 



convert the aquarium, if the tank be large enough, 

 into an aquatic garden as well. No British plants 

 have such a fragile hot-house look as our aquatic 

 species, and they would therefore suit the life of 

 indoors admirably, and be the means of contributing 

 another element to the many surroundings which 

 already make our English homes the happiest on 

 the earth !
