OR, THE HOME-CULTURE OF FRESH-WATER PLANTS. 
To these may he added the following, which I 
have selected from the splendid and extensive col¬ 
lection of Mr. Henderson, of Pine Apple Place, 
Edgware Eoad:— 
Adiantum cuneatum. 
Asplenium attenuatum. 
- bulbiferum. 
Cassebeera hastata. 
Davallia solida. 
Goniophlebinum neriifolium 
Litobroclcia denticulata. 
Polypodium latipes. 
Polypodium lepidosma. 
Pter is cretica. 
- serrulata. 
Selaginella denticulata . 
- incequalis. 
- serpens. 
- stolonifera. 
- Mertensii. 
There are also several Pern-like Ly copods well 
worthy of cultivation on the raised dry rockwork 
of the Aquarium, one or two species of which 
will thrive and grow during a year or more, by 
having the foot-stalks of the fronds or leaves 
placed in the water, and allowing the feather-like 
foliage to droop over the sides. A very pretty 
effect was produced in this manner in the Pernery 
of Mr. Henderson, where every information regard- 
the culture of Perns and their allies is freely and 
obligingly given by the intelligent attendant. 
In collecting wild Perns, take in preference those 
found within the drip of waterfalls or on the 
hanks of streams as most likely to succeed on the 
rockwork of the Aquarium. Care must he taken to
