HARDY WATER LSLIES. 



T'-IE ease with which Water I^ilies and Aquatics are culti- 

 vated, the certainty of handsome results the same season 

 they are planted, the magnificent flowers of great variety 

 of form and color, their delicate perfumexand the great fascina- 

 tion in growing them, is making the water garden widely popu- 

 lar. The small-growing varieties may be grown in half-barrels 

 or tubs. We do not. unless specially ordered, send out Water 

 Lily plants until warm weather, about the middle of May. The 

 tubs should have a hole in the side and kept plugged for the 

 purpose of drawing off the water occasionally. The tubs con- 

 taining 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.
