Water Gardening in Tiny Pool 
Enjoyment for Little 
You can enjoy gorgeous Water Lilies 
in your garden with simple construction 
and planting plan. 
I t is easy, economical and 
highly satisfactory to 
build a beautiful little 
Water Garden in and around a wood¬ 
en tub. Though any good tub will 
serve, we can supply a rot-resisting 
White Cedar tub with our Tub-Garden Collection of plants. Any nook or 
corner of the grounds—or even an apartment house roof—is suitable for a 
Tub-Garden provided only that it gets a little sunshine. Then there are the 
fish! A Tub-Garden can be made a most interesting little fish pond, not only 
for the commoner kinds but also for the most fancy varieties of Goldfish and 
all types of Toy Tropical Fishes. Even young fishes may be raised very suc¬ 
cessfully in a Tub-Garden. 
Be sure to add a few Goldfish or Toy Tropicals to your Tub-Garden, not 
only for their attractiveness, but also for their practical value in destroying 
insect life in the Pool. 
IT IS EASY TO MAKE A FINE TUB-GARDEN 
The arrangement of the Tub-Garden is 
largely a matter of one’s own taste. The tub 
may even be left exposed on the lawn or in 
the garden, but we recommend that an exca¬ 
vation be made large enough to contain the 
tub and sink it about six inches below 
ground level (see sketch above). Stones 
placed about the edges provide for planting 
hardy border perennials. When the tub is set 
fill about half full of good garden soil firmed 
well down, cover over with a one-inch layer 
of clean sand, and fill with water. 
The Tub-Garden is ready now for plant¬ 
ing. Press the Water Lily root well into the 
soil. Should there be a tendency for the root 
to float, weight with a flat stone until it has 
rooted in the new soil. However, if the soil 
is well firmed in the bottom of the tub before 
water is run in, roots will rarely float upon 
planting. Submerged Plants should be 
planted directly in the bottom of the tub; 
Floating Plants dropped on the surface of 
the water, and Shallow Water and Bog 
Plants planted directly in the bottom, or in 
pots which may be placed on top of the soil 
in the tub. After all planting is done, intro¬ 
duce the fish, snails, tadpoles, etc. 
A Tub-Garden may always be increased 
in size and attractiveness by adding one, 
two, or even more tubs pleasingly arranged 
to form quite an extensive yet comparatively 
inexpensive Water Garden.
