A hollow square of four cypress boards is laid in the pool, the inside square being S inches smaller than concrete edge. It is also 3 inches lower, allowing a forward slope to the soil.

Soil is composed of peat, light soil and sand. The plants consist of such Bog Plants as can be selected from the catalogues of seedsmen, or obtained by personal collection, consisting largely of swamp ferns, Calla Lily, Myosotis (Forget-Me-Not). Ludwigia, Moneywort, Wild Iris (Common Blue Flag), Pitcher Plant, Sundew and Parrot's Feather (plant hang- ing over outside wall of pool). The small white flowers on the water are Water Snow- flakes.

This produces the same visual effect as the more substantial constructions shown in Figs. 91 and 92. 118.
