If grasses and twigs had caught on a small projection of the shore and a little vegetation had sprung up and soil thus collected, I lengthened and broadened the projection and planted it with clumps of grasses, such as flag, bamboo, pampas grass, and the hardy JEhblalia Japonica. Back of these, on more solid ground, I planted a willo^^• and an alder, with some irises, aud tender cannas and caladiums elephant ears.
