TUB GARDENS AND TANK POOLS 
Enjoy gorgeous Water Lilies in your garden with simple construction and planting plan 
THE TUB GARDEN 
A sunken tub will support a Water Lily and two 
or three other plants, and with a rock garden 
at its borders becomes a beauty spot. 
It is easy, economical and highly satisfactory 
to build a beautiful little Water Garden in 
and around a wooden tub. 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. 
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. 
Add a few Goldfish to your Tub-Garden, 
for their attractiveness, also for their practical 
value in destroying insect life. 
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.
