 and Nymphaea.) 



Stove herbaceous aquatic. Generally by seeds, sown 

 in strong heat, and planted out in a reservoir of heated 

 water as soon as germinated. From the size of the 

 leaves, the tank must be 25 feet in diameter; and if 

 the water is moved, or is being constantly furnished with 

 a fresh supply, the plants will thrive all the better. At 

 Messrs. Weeks', in the King's Road, it has been bloomed 

 successfully in the open air in a tank, the water of 

 which was heated to 80 by hot-water pipes.
