TUB AND MULTI-TUB GARDENS 
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.

MULTI-TUB GARDENS 
Practically endless in combinations of orna¬ 
mental shapes and beautiful blossoms and 
foliage are these MULTI-TUB GARDEN 
POOLS arranged from two, three or four tubs 
sunk in any garden center or corner and sur¬ 
rounded by rimming rocks and rock garden 
planting. 
Surely there is a corner of your garden in 
which one of these pools may nestle and 
reward you with the beauty and oriental touch 
of rare water lilies and plants. Picture a 
lovely, triple pool such as shown in the sketch 
above, at the foot of a rock garden slope — 
what charm it adds to your garden — how vis¬ 
itors will exclaim at its rare planting. 
Such a water garden is as easy to create as 
anything of equal beauty could be. Select your 
spot—lay out the arrangement of your tubs. 
The dirt you dig can be used to bank the 
background. Sink your tubs and fill each of 
them half full of good garden soil. You might 
add a little Grassyfork "Big Bloom” fertilizer 
described on the first page of the order blank 
to insure the best results. Then add a half inch 
of sand and you are ready for planting. Just 
follow instructions in this booklet. You will 
want to line the rims of the tubs with weath¬ 
ered rocks and plant your rock garden as you 
desire with a dainty umbrella palm and gay 
clusters of marsh iris, fountain grass, forget- 
me-not or marsh marigold. 
For your background planting follow your 
own ideas. Rock plants listed on Page 15 will 
fill between the rocks nicely. You’ll find sug¬ 
gestions for many different plantings in your 
MULTI-TUB Garden Pools in the collections 
of water lilies on Page 5, in the pool assort¬ 
ments on Page 8 and in the water plants, rock 
garden plants and perennials on Pages 14 
and 15.
