in which will grow and flower well several kinds of Water Lily. Formation 



And should the tank be made long and narrow the two ends may of a Tank 



be divided off by means of brick or concrete walls in the tank 



with pipes or holes running through them, and the portions thus 



divided off filled in with good soil right up to the ground level 



and about nine inches above the water surface. In this soil 



many a good marsh plant will do excellently, having at its roots 



a perpetual moisture by means of the pipes running through the 



wall from the water. 



I would entreat everyone to enhance the grace of their 

 gardens by the addition of some water, so that at moments when 

 all, or nearly all, is scorched by the summer sun, on the hot 

 days in July and August, when the garden is parched and 

 thirsty, there may be found an oasis of the " tender green that 

 fledges the River-Lip," for it is there that the Demoiselle fly 

 will sport and hover, and birds will gladly drink of the blue 

 water.
