The native Lycopodia, mosses, &c., generally do well. The Mar- 

 cTiantia polymorpha, with its curious umbrellas and baskets of eggs, I 

 found some two or three years ago in pots in the Public Garden 

 Conservatory, where the gardener gravely informed me that it was 

 spontaneously produced from Cochituate water, and if the plants were 

 watered from the rain-water cistern they would disappear. I after- 

 wards found the species on the banks of an ice-cold brook in the Dix- 

 ville Notch; in such extremes of temperature will the lower vegetables 

 thrive.
