CULTURE OF AQUATICS. 
cultivated, are nevertheless so easy to preserve, and render a small pond so attrac- 
tive at the season of flowering-, that we have added a short list and a few brief 
hints, in the hopes that they may stimulate to the more extensive culture of these 
curiosities of nature. 
Plants that grow in water are nqt all true aquatics, but may be divided into 
two kinds— first, such as are constantly immersed and exist in water ; and, secondly, 
such as grow in wet bogs, or morasses, where at different seasons they become 
partially or wholly dry. 
All true aquatics necessarily divide themselves into three kinds, according to 
the temperature required for their successful culture ; namely, such only as will 
grow in the stove, such as will thrive in the greenhouse, and those that will bear 
the open air, called hardy — as follows : —
