""Water-Lilies And How To Grow Them"" is a comprehensive guidebook written by Henry Shoemaker Conard in 1907, which provides detailed instructions on how to grow water lilies, along with chapters on pond-making and the use of accessory plants. The book is divided into three parts, the first of which covers the history and classification of water lilies, as well as their propagation and cultivation. The second part is dedicated to the proper construction of ponds, including the selection of suitable sites, the excavation process, and the necessary materials and equipment. The final section focuses on the use of accessory plants, such as ferns, rushes, and grasses, to enhance the beauty and functionality of water gardens.
