HARDY WATER LILIES. 



THE ease with which Water Lilies and Aquatics are cultivated, the 

 certainty 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 mak- 

 ing 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 Lily plants until warm weather, about the 

 middle of May. The tubs should have a hole in the side and kept

 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.
