Water Lilies and Aquatic Plants. 



WATER is always an important feature in garden and landscape effects, especially so when the margins are suitably 

 treated with plants and the surface embellished with beautiful Water Lilies. The" great diversity in size, color and 

 other features among the Water Lilies gives to Water Gardening a fascination, interest and charm not experi- 

 enced in any other style of gardening 



A Water Garden may be enjoyed in a sunny back yard as well as in large gardens or pretentious grounds. When natural 

 conditions of water or soil are not found, artificial ponds, basins, tanks or tubs mav be utilized and the results will be equally 

 satisfactor}% often more so. Water gardening is exceedingly simple, the requirements being a water holding receptacle 

 2 to 3 feet deep, of shape and area desired, a warm sunny location, some rich soil, an available supplv of water to make good 

 the loss from evaporation, and a suitable selection of Water Lihes and Aquatic Plants. This is primarily all there is to it. 



.eS" We do not, unless specially ordered, send otrt Water Lily roots or plants until warm weather, about the middle of May. "S*
