ROOTS AND 

 PLANTS 



THE 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 fascination 

 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 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 small 

 cost. We cannot send out Water Lily plants until warm weather, about the middle 

 of May.
