AQUATICS AND WATER GARDENS 
113 
An Artistic Lakelet 
To the left we illustrate an artificial 
Water Lily pond, artistic in its irregular 
outline. The rustic bridge adds charm to 
the picture. The aquatics recognizable, in 
addition to the Nymph^eas, are Sweet Flag, 
Water Arum and Water Hyacinths, although 
a larger variety is grown at the end of 
the lake not shown in the picture. 
A Waterside Picture 
To the right we illustrate 
a charming example of 
waterside planting that can 
well be imitated. On many 
grounds there are streams 
with banks of ugly, un- 
washed earth that are capa- 
ble of being transformed 
into picturesque plantations 
of moisture -loving hardy 
plants, of which there are a 
great variety. The promi- 
nent plants in the illustra- 
tion are Japan Iris in flower, 
and Gunner a, the noble- 
leaved plant.
