At least two lowerholes must be provided so that in the earlystages the water level can be kept low, andyet the pond can be flushed. A large drain,to be closed during the summer, is placed atthe bottom of the Victoria pond. Thisenables one to clean the pond thoroughlyafter the removal of the water plants. In-stead of simply running off the water fromthe tanks into drains it will be found advan-tageous to allow it to supplement the waterin an out-of-door pond or an artificial bog,both intended to accommodate hardier plantsand which can be located in the immediatevicinity of the greenhouse.
