The gorgeous tropical water lilies displayed in our public park ponds and fountain basins have 

 proved how easily they can be grown, and have created such a demand, that we have procured in 

 Europe seeds of the finer sorts, which can be easily grown as follows : 



Plant them in pots of earth kept saturated with water, and placed in a warm situation. As soon as the plants 

 are large enough they can be planted in tubs of earth, and placed in the pond or fountain basin, where they will 

 grow and flower luxuriantly. In the fall dry off and remove the tub under the green-house bench or warm cellar, 

 and keep moist until spring.
