HE ease with which Water Lilies and Aquatics are cultivated, the certainty of 
handsome results the same season they are planted, the magnificent flowers 
of great variety of form and color, their delicate perfume and the great fascina= 
tion in growing them, is making the water garden widely popular. All of 
the varieties may be grown in half-barrels or tubs two-thirds full of weil-enriched 
soil covered with an inch or two of sand, filled with water and placed in a sunny 
position in the lawn or a fountain basin, though the cultivator generally becomes so 
enthusiastic in a season or two that an artificial pond is created, which is easily done 
and at small cost. We cannot send out Water Lily plants until warm weather, about 
the middle of May.
