Lovely Water Lilies 



Are Gems o/ Bewitching Beauty 

 Even in the Small Garden 



A lily pool is always the center of garden interest — and a garden without Water 

 Lilies is sadly incomplete. Fortunately, one may have a water garden at little ex- 

 pense, for if a pool is not to be had, one may use tubs or half-barrels. The tubers, 

 too, are inexpensive — indeed when the blooms open in their loveliness you will be 

 richly rewarded for your investment. 



Superbly Colored Water Lilies 



Almost everyone knows the common Water Lily of 

 ponds and streams, with its waxy white petals and 

 charming fragrance. But in your water garden you 

 may have almost a rainbow of color — crimson, yel- 

 low, royal purple, rose-pink, orange-red, lavender, 

 blue — to contrast with the improved white varieties. 



Easily Grown by Everyone 



Water Lilies are no more difficult to grow than 

 asters and sweet peas, but are far more lovely and 

 attractive. Few plants demand so little care, and 

 certainly hone give such rich rewards of beauty. 

 You can learn about Water Lilies and how to grow 

 them if you will send for my 1922 catalogue. 



Tricker's Book of Water Lilies and Water Plants 



features the most desirable hardy and tender varieties for pools, tubs and large ponds. Several lilies are 

 pictured in natural colors and others are shown by photographic reproduction. If you arc interested in 

 water gardening, I will gladly send you a copy on request.

The "Diamond E" 



Porcupine Cultivator 



A steel covered roller, studded with four rows of steel spikes which verti- 

 cally enter the soil, pulverize it finely to a depth of two 

 inches. It absolutely destroys the constantly sprouting 

 weed seeds, besides uprooting seedlings, thus making all 

 fertility available for the cultivated crops. 



For putting the seed bed in ideal condition, to crush 

 lumps and clogs that are inevitable after soil is spaded, 

 the "Diamond E" is one of the most valuable tools ever 

 offered. Excellent for working around Shrubbery, Flower 

 beds, etc., and loosening up bare spots in the lawn, working 

 in a top dressing of fertilizer and seed.
