HOW TO MAKE A LILY POND. 
The best way to grow Lilies and other Aquatics for ornament, is 
to dig a place two feet deep and as large as you wish it, cement it, 
and divide it into compartments four by four (to keep them from 
spreading) by building walls one foot high across it with brick. 
Place good rich soil in this, and set one plant in each compartment. 
Set Bananas around the sides, and it will prove the greatest attrac- 
tion you can grow, and well worth the labor bestowed upon it. 
WATER LILIES IN TUBS OR CEMENT BASINS. 
For the open air a good degree of success may be attained by 
planting them in large tubs or half-barrels, on the surface or sunk 
in the ground. They should be placed where they will receive the 
full benefit of the sun for at least the greater portion of the day. 
Fill about half full with the soil recommended for Water Lilies. 
The next best arrangement for growing the Lily is to build of brick 
and cement a basin two feet deep and as long as you may desire, 
either round or square, with a convenient means for emptying the 
tank at the bottom. 
Sagittaria Variabilis. The Arrow Head. 
A native plant suitable for shallow wa- 
ter, growing about two feet high, bearing 
arrow shaped leaves and pearly white 
flowers. 25 cents each. 
Nelumbium heteum. There is scarcely 
any difference between this and Nelum- 
bium Spcciosum except, in the color of 
the dowers, which is of a rich sulphur 
yellow. A large patch of them, with 
hundreds of (lowers and buds, is a sight 
never to be forgotten. Tubers, $1.00. 
Nympbma Oderata. Itslovelp pure white 
Howers are worthy of a place beside the 
mott costly Exotics. It can be success- 
fully grown in a tub and Wintered in a 
cellar. Does well in one of the beds in 
the Lily tank, hut a more satisfactory 
way than either is to naturalize it in a 
pond. Strong roots 40 cents each, three 
for $1.05. 
Nympbae a Scutifolia. The Lilies culti- 
vated under these names are of a beautf- 
fnl shade of lavender blue, not a deep 
blue, about three or four inches across, 
but when the plant is given abundance 
of room and rich soil the flowers will be 
much larger, and of a decidedly deeper 
tint. They are very fragrant, the per- 
fume being entirely distinct from that 
of Nymphaja Oderata. $1.00 each. 
Nelumbium Specissum. 1 1 is the Sacred 
Lotus of India and China, and is also 
cultivated in Japan. 25 cents each. 
Nyrnp hxa Oderata Rosea. This is the 
famous Red Water Lily of Boston : pro- 
duces (lowers larger than the white as 
commonly seen. 1 1 is very fragrant, ana 
in every respect like Nymplue Oderata 
except in color, which is a deep pink 
shade, like Hermosa Rose. $2.00 each.
