LESS than 20 years ago Water Gardening was introduced into this country. It& 
popularity has spread with such wonderful rapidity that today it is a prominent feature in: 
almost every Park, Cemetery and Public Ground of note in America, while it has found 
a place in thousands of homes from Canada to Mexico. Whence arises this sudden 
universal popularity? We answer, from merit alone and will briefly enumerate ther 
leading points of excellence which are bringing this plant into such high favor, 
jst. Its adaptability to all climates. 
2nd. Its ease of culture. 
3d. Its freedom of bloom. 
4th. Its diversity of color. 
5th. Its entrancing beauty. 
6th. Its rich fragrance. 
7th. Its economy of space. 
8th. Its economic value. 
9th. Its unique individual characteristic, being wholly unlike any other flower in habit and appearance- 
10th. Its high recommendation from the ages and nations. Being cultivated, preserved and wor¬ 
shipped from time immemorial in the crowded, growing and dying nations of the Orient, is it any wonder 
that young America, always alive to a good thing, should give it a cordial welcome? Let the reader 
carefully study these points and compare them with the merits of any other flower that grows and he 
will readily see how 
' The beautiful lily so clear and so white, 
That opens by day and closes by night 
And floats so majestic upon the clear wave,” 
should be chosen as the beau-ideal of horticulture.
