Where no pond or slow-flowing stream is 
near at hand the plant may be grown in 
a large tub partly filled with rich mud or 
clay, the roots planted in this and the tub 
filled with water. For planting in a 
lake, a stone can be tied to the root and

below frost. They are very easy to 
establish. 20 cts. each, $1.50 per doz.
