YOUR WATER GARDEN. No section of 
your garden will give you more enjoyment than 
your pool. This was particularly brought out 
during the past year when the drought hit every 
section of the country, ruining gardens in gen' 
eral. The plants just withered and died—gladio' 
lus and other flowering plants did not flower as 
they should. Gardening in general was most dis¬ 
couraging but the Water Garden compensated 
for the damage brought on by the drought. 
Many of our friends remarked, “If it were not 
for my pool this year, I would not have enjoyed 
summer. All other garden plants failed me ex' 
cept my plants in the pool.” 
Feature the Water Garden this year. If you 
have never had a pool, add one and you will 
discover that your new adventures with water 
lilies, fishes and other aquatics will afford more 
genuine pleasure than you have ever before ex' 
perienced in gardening. It requires so little effort 
to grow and care for Water Lilies and other 
aquatic plants that you will marvel at the excel' 
lent results which can be obtained by a mere 
beginner. 
In appropriating your garden money this year, 
give the largest share to your Water Garden 
since it will give the greatest return in garden 
enjoyment. 
“MOONLIGHT” ON YOUR WATER 
GARDEN. Moonlight is the inspiration for 
artificial garden illumination. The moonlight 
pool is a bit of natural magic. The soft play of 
light and shadow on the pool holds one em 
tranced with its still beauty. By proper light 
planning the effect of moonlight can be achieved 
so as to be available any night at the turn of the 
switch. In creating artificial moonlighting, the 
ideal effect is secured by concealing the light 
source. The pool with fountain or centered 
piece of statuary can be softly lighted from a 
nearby tree. 
ADD A BOG GARDEN TO YOUR 
WATER GARDEN. To give your water gar' 
den real individuality, add a bog garden. The 
bog will enable you to maintain a greater va' 
riety of lovely, interesting plants under ideal 
conditions, providing a location much more 
suitable than you will find in the ordinary garden 
planting. The bog garden is inexpensive to 
build as well as inexpensive to maintain. Yet 
there is probably no other type of planting in 
which the amateur is so certain of good results. 
Your bog garden may be of any size—pos' 
sibly a small select area near a water hydrant, or 
large marshes in extensive grounds. It should 
be planted in the lowest part of the grounds 
where water naturally collects. Many bogs are 
built adjacent to an informal pool and so ar' 
ranged that the overflow from the pool floods 
the bog. 
The best plants for the bog garden are: 
Arrowhead, Cattails, Flowering Rush, Pickerel 
Plant, Papyrus, Parrotfeather, Sweetflag, Marsh 
Marigold, Taros, and Lobelia.
