HARDY WATER. LILIES. 



The ease with which Water Lilies and Aquatics are cultivated, the cer- 

 tainty 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. The small-growing varieties may be grown in half-barrels or tubs. 

 We do not, unless specially ordered, send out Water l ily plants until warm 

 weather, about the middle of May. The tubs should have a hole in the side 

 and kept olugged for the purpose of drawing off the water occasionally. 

 The tubs containing the Lilies may be set in a cellar or any place where they 

 will not freeze solid, and be ready to set out in the spring.
