WITH THESE 
WATER PLANTS 
H ere are grouped those plants which grow in the 
water. They are varied and interesting, and 
give the much desired natural effect to the pool. 
They are easily grown. Most of them do best in 
shallow water and so the pots, boxes, or tubs should 
be raised to within two to eight inches of the 
surface. 
There are wonderful possibilities with Water 
Plants to give your pool a unique and tropical ap- 
pearance. Try a collection of Taro, Umbrella Palm, 
Papyrus and Primrose Willow, grouped together 
in a corner of the pool or in the center, or a cob 
lection of Primrose Willow, Parrot Feather and 
Forget-Me-Nots in a shallow corner of the pool. 
For a natural pool use plenty of Japanese Iris 
planted right at the edge or in one to, three inches 
of water. Our sturdy, healthy plants reach you 
ready to grow. If you have ever planted aquatics 
before you know the value of starting with good 
plants.
