Red, White and Blue Ever- 

 blooming Water Lilies. 



The growth of these three African "Water Lilits is so Avonuerful and 

 rapid that seeds soAvn in February or Zslarch Avill make nice little plants 

 by June, and if planted out then Avill begin blooming in July and con- 

 tinue to produce a profusion of flowers every day until frozen up in the 

 fall. They are as easily grown from seeds as are the Balsams or Asters, 

 and are best treated as annuals. 



To Grow Them from Seed.— In February or March take old tea- 

 cups and fill them about two-thirds full with fine, rich garden soil, press 

 it doAvn firm and scatter the seeds on the surface, half a packet or a full 

 packet to each cup, covering them to a depth of an eighth or a quarter of 

 nn inch Avith clean, sand. Fill up carefully with AA-ater, so as not to dis- 

 turb the seeds, and place where they aaIII keep at a temperature of 70 to 

 SO degrees, until they germinate, Avhich aa'III be from six to fifteen days. 

 After the plants have made leaA'es a quarter of an inch across, transplant 

 them to tAA-o-inch pots, or other cups. Set one plant to each pot or cup, 

 press the soil doAATi firm, and set them in a pan of water deep enough to 

 cover the plants about an inch. They can be kept in greenhouse, hot 

 bed or warm sunny AAindow in the house until time to plant out in. the 

 tubs. Do not put them in the open air until the Aveather has become 

 quite Avarm, but they may be planted out several weeks earlier if the 

 tubs are covered Avith glass. ^
