ROOTS AND
PLANTS
THE ease with which Water Lilies and Aquatics are cultivated, the certainty of
handsome results the same season they are planted, the magnificent flowers of
great variety of form and color, their delicate perfume and the great fascination
in growing them, is making the water garden widely popular. All of the varieties
may be grown in half-barrels or tubs two-thirds full of well-enriched soil covered
with an inch or two of sand, filled with water and placed in a sunny position in the
lawn or a fountain basin, though the cultivator generally becomes so enthusiastic in
a season or two that an artificial pond is created, which is easily done and at small
cost. We cannot send out Water Lily plants until warm weather, about the middle
of May.
