WATER LILIES AND AQUATIC PLANTS. 
W ATER is always an important feature in garden and landscape effects, especially so when the margins are suitably 
treated with plants and the surface embellished with beautiful Water Lilies. The great diversity in size, color and 
other features among the Water Lilies gives to Water Gardening a fascination, interest and charm not experi¬ 
enced in any other style of gardening. 
A Water Garden may be enjoyed in a sunny back yard as well as in large gardens or pretentious grounds. When natural 
conditions of water or soil are not found, artificial ponds, basins, tanks or tubs may be utilized and the results will be equally 
satisfactory, often more so. Water gardening is exceedingly simple, the requirements being a water-holding receptacle 
2 to 3 feet deep, of shape and area desired, a warm sunny location, some rich soil, an available supply of water to make good 
the loss from evaporation, and a suitable selection of Water Lilies and Aquatic Plants. This is primarily all there is to it. 
We do not, unless specially ordered, send out Water Lily roots or plants until warm weather, about the middle of May,
