. The book of water gardening; giving in full detail all the practical information necessary to the selection, grouping and successful cultivation of aquatic and other plants required in the making of a water garden and its surroundings, and covering all conditions from that of the amateur with a few plants in tubs to the large estate or park. Water gardens. THE BOOK OF WATER GARDENING is a heart to heart talk, devoid of literary pretension, with those of kindred tastes to my own, and it is intended to form a working vade mccum which may lead to a better knowledge and a more complete understanding of everything connected with the cultivation of a race of garden subjects which, for beauty and grace, comprehensiveness of colors and historical associations, to me, stands unrivaled in all Flora's realm. The preparation of the illustrations contained in this volume, the great ma- jority of which have been made by the author direct from the material obtainable in the water garden under his personal supervision, has been a labor of love for some years, and it is his trust that they will add to the interest of the book and prove an incitement to its readers. For the preparation of the manuscript for the printer I am indebted to Mr. Alexander Wallace, Editor of The Florists' Exchange, New York. I also desire to acknowledge the many valuable suggestions made and help- ful aid otherwise rendered by Mr. A- T. De La Mare, president of the publish- ing firm, distributors of the work. My earnest desire is that my interested readers, who follow the advice herein contained, will reap from the putting of it into practical operation the great pleasure in this healthful branch of gardening practice that has been mine these many years.
