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* 



tlon in growing them, is making the water garden widely popular. All of 



the varieties may be grown in halfbarrels or tubs two. thirds full of well-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 email cost. We cannot send out Water Lily plants until warm weather, about 



the middle of May.
