HOW TO MAKE A TUB GARDEN 
We furnish everything you need complete for $6.35. (See offer 
page 18.) The best effect will be gained by sinking the tub in the 
ground right up to the rim. Fill the tub half full of rich soil, 
cover this over with half an inch of clean sand and fill with water. 
The little ‘pool’ is now ready for the water lilies, aquaties and 
perennials, rock plants and fish. The drawing shows a cross section
