These WATER PLANTS provide the finishing 
touch to the perfectly balanced garden... 
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. 
These are wonderful possibilities with Water Plants 
to give your pool a unique and tropical appearance. 
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 collection of Primrose 
Willow, Parrot Feather and Forget-Me-Nots in a shal- 
low corner of the pool. 
For a natural pool use plenty of Japanese Iris 
planted right at the edgé 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.
