A Pond of Aquatics, Nelumbiums in Foreground. 
Aquatics. 
Water-gardening' is one of the delie;htful and refreshing fads for summer time. Water Lilies !ind other Aquatic plants 
can be grown so easily that cool little ponds, tubs or spacious tanks dimpled with their flowers are now favorite spots in all the 
best-planned gardens. The tender sorts can be removed to greenhouse or cplhir u))on the approach of winter, and, if not allowed 
to freeze or become dry, can easily be wintered over. Hardv sorts will succeed well in any stream or ])ond,and stand the winters 
in latitudes where the water does not freeze to the bottoin of the pond. 
We are well prepared to supply fine stock of these beautiful plants, and can give larger and Stronger plants, true to 
name, for less mone.y than any other firm. Special attention is asked for our stock of the finest Nelumbium in 
the world— N. album grandiflorum— and to our remarkably low price for it.
