white sand. Maritime plants can be planted appropriately at 
intervals round the pond at the base of the rock-work. 
In a corner of the pond, some of the larger grasses, &c. may 
be planted, such as Typha latifolia , T. angustifolia, and T. minor , 
and many others, particularly Alisma plantago , which appears 
to great advantage. 
In the pond, Nymphcea lutea and alba, Ranunculus aquatilis, 
and other aquatics, may be stationed; but in planting these they 
should first be placed in large pots, which should be cracked, so 
that when the roots begin to extend themselves into the soil at 
the bottom, the pots may fall away : they may be tied round 
the mouth with small twine, which will keep the pots together 
until the plants are settled and beginning to strike out roots ; 
by that time the twine is rotten, and consequently will give 
way.
