Any One May Have a Water Garden 
If you live in an apartment you may enjoy the pleasure of a water garden. Pur¬ 
chase a deep dishpan and put in about three inches of soil and plant Water Poppy, 
Water Hyacinth, Water Snowflake and some of the water grasses, and place in a sunny 
window and you will be more than pleased with the results. 
Two or three fish will do well in this environment. Then you may have a real beauty 
spot by making a Tub Garden. 
Part of a group of 5 Tub Gardens, combined with Rock Garden, Planted with Tropic Lilies and Succulents 
Tub Garden 
The one illustrated here has a group of five half barrels, and is one of the most 
attractive spots one can imagine. 
Saw barrels in two and apply a heavy coat of asphaltum paint INSIDE AND OUT 
to preserve the wood. Sink barrels in soil and pile rock around them to hide the bar¬ 
rels. There are a number of lilies that do well in this space; among them being the 
Aurora (sunset), Pink Opal, Odorata, Paul Hariot (sunset) and Helvola Pygmy, in the 
Hardy varieties. 
In the Tropics, the Panama Pacific, Henry Shaw and General Pershnig do well. Then 
there are so many water plants that do well in a small space that there is no end to 
the possibilities of this type of water garden. This one was worked out with a rock gar¬ 
den and the following plants used to complete the picture. 
Lemon day lily, Fountain grass, Aloes, Kalanchoes, Portulacaria and different vari- 
ties of the Sedums, of which we have arranged several collections for your convenience.
