Tender Water Lilies 



for artificial pools should be selected this month, although 

 the actual planting may be delayed until early June. Tender 

 Lilies are remarkably free bloomers, one plant often having 

 six flowers open in a single day. 



To my comprehensive list of tender varieties I have 

 added a quartette of novelties originated at the Missouri 

 Botanical Gardens, which are of exceptional merit. 



My 1922 Booklet of 

 Water Lilies and Water Plants 



describes these new Lilies as well as others that are extremely 

 popular. Hardy varieties for natural pools, border plants 

 and aquarium plants are also included in this edition. A 

 copy will be sent on request.
