THE COMPLETE HOME LANDSCAPE 



AQUATICS OR WATER PLANTS 



For water over two feet deep the Water Lilies should be used; of these 

 there are a large number of varieties in various colors. These are generally 

 best planted in a shallow basket which is let down in the pool wherever desired. 

 A better effect can be obtained if a few rather than many plants are used, 

 as in the latter case the surface of the water is liable to be practically covered 

 with foliage, which eliminates the possibility of reflections. Other plants 

 mentioned in this list should be planted around the edge of the pool or in it 

 to a depth of one foot or less of water. Wherever possible give the plants a 

 good start by supplying them with good soil, then, after they are established, 

 very little care will be necessary.
