Visitors are also always welcome at our establishment at Riverton, N. J., where not only Aquatics but other things of interest to horticuhurists can be seen. The cultivation of Aquatics is of the simplest; their requirements are sunshine, water and plenty of rich soil. They are divided into two classes, hardy and tender; the former may be planted in ponds, lakes, or sluggish streams, early in the spring, and, under the same conditions as our native Water Lily, they will grow luxuriously and flower profusely the entire season ; provide the same conditions in artificial ponds or tanks, and the results will be equally satisfactory. Plant the tender varieties at the approach of warm weather and when the water is warm. The plants can be grown in pots, where protection can be afforded them until safe to transfer to summer quarters. The after-treatment is the same as for the hardy varieties. When grown in tubs only the moderate growers should be selected. In the Northern and Eastern States some protection should be given the margins of artificial ponds, fountain basins, etc., for a break in the masonry occasioned by the action of frost would expose the plants to great danger. In storing in tubs through the winter they should be kept where it is not wann enough to excite growth or so cold as to freeze. NOVELTIES IN HARDY WATER LILIES.
