And finally, Osmunda regalis delights in marshy ground.

situations. In such localities there is scarcely any limit to the 
number of species that may be successfully cultivated. It 
would be superfluous to enumerate all the species that might 
be grown; but a glance at some of the more suitable subjects 
will serve as a guide to what may be effected. Of course the
