sachalinense ), Common Loosestrife (Lysimachia thyrsiflora ), Purple Loose¬ 
strife {Lythrum salicaria), with one or two Sedges, as Carex atrovirens and 
C. lupuliformis , plants with more or less graceful growth and beautiful 
flowers in summer. 
We have by no means exhausted the list of suitable plants. Those we have 
named are all thoroughly hardy, robust, and well suited for imparting a most 
diversified and interesting appearance to a pond or lake. If a few more of 
a choicer type are needed, we can recommend the following for the sides : 
Primula rosea , Parnassuspalustrus (Grass of Parnassus), Saxifraga Fortunei, 
S. peltata, Iris Koempferi , Cypripedium sped a bile. Orchis foliosa , and Caltha 
palustrus plena . The nymphaeas we would advise as the best are N. odorata, 
y. pygnuza , N. ?narlicacece , N. alba , and N. Candida. Equally good among the 
nuphars, are, N. adve?ia , and N. luteum.
