5EEDS OF WATER LILIES. 



Raising seeillinjj plants of all kinds has a peculiar charm and fascination, and 

 a few lemarks on the growing of Water Lilies from seed may be of service. 



The soil should be precisely the same as is used for the vast majority of flower 

 seeds; that is, any good garden soil, nicely sifted, wiih a small addition of sand. 

 The Tender Nymphseis and Victorias should be sown in early spring. It is ad- 

 visable to sow the hardy sorts late in autumn, the seed usually lying dormant 

 throughout the winter and coming up in the spring. Sow in pois, Isoxes or pans 

 (the latter is best) ; fill with soil to within half an inch of the top; sow the seed 

 thinly and cover lightly with sand and stand in water for two days until the seed 

 is thoroughly soaked, which will prevent any from floating when the pots are 

 submerged, which they should be in water at a temperature as near 75 degrees 

 as can be maintained. Two or three inches of water over the pois is sufficient 

 depth. As soon as the seedlings make two or three leaves, they should be trans- 

 planted into pots or pans; as soon as floating leaves two or three inches in diameter are produced, pot singly into three-inch pots 

 and when well rooted repot into 4 or 5 inch pots, from which size they may be planted into their summer flowering quarters. In 

 repotting, a compost of one-third thoroughly rolled cow manure and two-thirds good loam should be used. When planted into 

 permanent quarters, the same compost should be used, and the surface covered with clean sand. 



Full descriptions of the various sorts offered below will be found on pages 104 to 112.
