PLANNING 
THE 
PLANTING 
@ The illustration at the 
right, an ‘Extra Large Pool” 
the planting of which we 
have supervised for the past 
four years—a gorgeous BIG 
POOL—not a natural pond— 
sitting in a small valley be 
tween two hills and over- 
looked by the owner’s home 
on top of one of the hills— 
this pool is a delight. Large 
enough to accommodate all 
phases of Aquatic Life. The 
Lotus, the Hardy and Tropical 
Lilies, Shallow Water, Bog, 
Floating and Submerged 
Plants. The Lilies are planted 
in our regular lily boxes. 
Lotus and Shallow Water 
Plants in pockets built along 
the edge but inside the pool 
—semi-circular in shape. 
Shallow Water Plants shown 
are: Thalia, in foreground; 
Arrowhead and Pickerel at 
near bank. 
For owners of "EXTRA 
LARGE” or "LARGE WATER 
GARDENS,” who desire our 
service in planning the plant- 
ing—if you will send us a 
rough sketch of the pool 
showing depth, width, length, 
showing location of trees, 
house, or other tall objects 
around the pool—also mark 
location of pool North, South, 
etc., we will be glad to as- 
_ sist you in planning a real 
Water Garden. For construc- 
tion of pool see your local 
landscape architect, or ce 
ment contractor. 



ATER and its shimmering reflection, ‘colorful gleaming of darting 
goldfish,” broad lily pads, and floating blossoms, the exotic charm of lotus, bring 
visions of gardens along the Nile. You don't find these in plain dirt gardens.
