Bog and Aquatic Plants 
ACORUS Calamus. Sweet Flag. A Dog plant or 
sub aquatic, but will live in moist garden soil. 
The long light green leaves are quite pretty, 
especially as seen growing naturally. Height,

moist or dry soil. A fine variegated plant. N.,

CALTHA palustris. Marsh Marigold. Every one 
who has seen this plant in its profusion of golden 
bloom in early spring will remember it. It is 
the most lavish of its color of any of our wild 
flowers. Broad patches of solid bloom are scat¬ 
tered along the meadow brooks wherever it has 
established itself. For low ground, where there 
is plenty of moisture, it is one of the best. It 
forces well in pots. N., 10 cts. each, 00 cts. 
per doz.; P., 12 cts. each, 80 cts. per doz. ($3
