 well, the American Beauty rose — all are the products of

Water Lilies Will 

 Grow in a Tub 



All they require is so 

 easy to provide that after 

 you've grown them you'll 

 wonder why the idea never occurred 

 to you before. A little water and lots 

 of sunlight, with some soil for the roots, 

 and you'll have as nice a water garden as 

 you please. Of course I handle lilies for large places, too. 



My Booklet on aquatic plants will be of great as- 

 sistance to you, as it gives cultural pointers and a full 

 list of varieties. You can get a copy free if you write 

 now; delay may find the edition exhausted.
