EXAMPLE OF GARDEN PLANNING 
The water garden of Mrs. Ritter, Republic, Washington, 
is a pleasing example of a pool fitted into an odd corner. 
Such a pool will often solve the question of what to do 
with an awkward space. A water garden is often useful to 
put at the end of a walk particularly, to form a focal point 
of interest to what might indeed be an otherwise uninterest- 
ing or meaningless ramble. It is often placed in front of a 
pergola, summerhouse, or arbor, where it is most appro- 
priate. Such a retreat will acquire new interest in your 
eyes and afford your friends pleasure. Pools are very sim- 
ple and inexpensive to build and are permanent investments 
adding to the value of your property. 

SEED OF WATER LILIES 
FRESH SEED FROM OUR OWN POOLS 
Raising tropical water lilies from seed is very in- 
teresting and if given an early start by planting the 
seed in late May will flower during the latter 
part of summer. The seed may be sown in a 
pot and, if planted early, put in a pail or 
Nw aquarium in a warm sunny window putting 
out later when the weather is settled and 
ax warm. Every seedling will be beautiful and you 
will get charming variations. Those that do not 
flower at once may be carried over the winter, 
treated as the Star Lily tubers. (See page 24.)
