10 CLIBRANS' LIST OF AQUATIC, BOG AND MARSH PLANTS. 
AQUATIC, BOG and MARSH PLANTS. 
U NDER this heading we give a list of the most desirable and suitable plants 
for planting in water or in moist situations. Some beautiful effects may 
be obtained in this phase of gardening by planting judiciously those 
species and varieties that are best adapted for the situation. In planting along 
the banks of streams where the water runs rapidly, or is liable to rise and flood 
its banks, care should be taken to secure the plants from the danger of being 
washed away. This can be done by inserting a strong peg and attaching the 
plant to it by means of string. This will enable it to retain its position until it 
becomes established.
