N nearly all grounds large or small there are wet places, either streams, 
ponds or bogs, and often by judicious treatment these spots can be made 
the most attractive bit of land- or waterscape. Bog plants usually are 
very remarkable in shape and color of leaf and flower and very beauti¬ 
ful. The bog Orchids may be found under the Orchid Section and in¬ 
clude the showy Cypripedium reginae, Calopogons, Habenarias, etc., 
and other herbaceous plants and small shrubs that do well in bog or in 
very wet places are given under their respective headings. We gladly 
give advice on this subject.
