Red, White snd Blue Ever 
blooming Water Lilies. 
The growth of these three African Water Lilies is so wonderful and 
rapid that seeds sown in February or March will make nice little plants 
by June, and if planted out then will begin blooming in July and con¬ 
tinue to produce a profusion of floivers 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 down 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 
an inch with clean sand. Fill up carefully with water, so as not to dis¬ 
turb the seeds, and place where they will keep at a temperature of 70 to 
80 degrees, until they germinate, which will he from six to fifteen days. 
After the plants have made leaves a quarter of an inch across, transplant 
them to two-inch pots, or other cups. Set one plant to each pot or cup, 
press the soil down firm, and set them in a pan of water deep enough to 
I cover the plants about an inch. They can he kept in greenhouse, hot 
bed or warm sunny window in the house until time to plant out in the 
tubs. Do not put them in the open air until the weather has become 
quite warm, hut they may he planted out several weeks earlier if the 
tubs are covered with glass.
