Water Lilies 
Have you ever noticed that, no difference what the beauty of the garden may be, 
in harmony of planting, in beauty of landscaping, the visitor drifts to the Water Lily 
pool and there lingers, unable to break away from the charm and quiet found only 
there. There one may admire the beauty of the Lilies, and watch the fish as they swim 
lazily by; and, as many have told us: "Forget the trials and worries of everyday life." 
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 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 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. The 
one illustrated below has a group of 5 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 Hardy Lilies that do well in this space; among them being 
the Paul Hariot, Aurora, Pink Opal, and the Helvola Pygmy Lilies. 
In the Tropics, the Panama Pacific, Henry Shaw, and Dauben 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 varieties of Sedums, of which we 
have arranged several collections for your convenience.
