Artificial ponds are usually con- structed in a conspicuous spot, where everything is required to be well kept. In such situations it is neces- sary occasionally to take off some dead leaves, or cut a few choice flowers, and if they cannot be reached from the edge of the pond, the attendant must wade in after them. The result is that the water, which should always be clear, is muddy, and when it settles there is a muddy deposit on the leaves that makes them very unsightly. Moreover, this treading in the soft soil breaks numer- ous roots. To avoid these and other attendant evils place the soil in boxes from 3ât feet square, and 1 foot deep, and in these plant one single plant of the vigorous and moderate growers, allowing ample space between the boxes. One plant of any tropical Water Lily grown in such a box will require from 50 to 100 square feet of water surface, as will also the strong va- rieties of hardy Nymphaeas, since these may remain two years undisturbed, although some of these are best replanted every season. ness of season.
