Day-Blooming Water Lilies 



These day-blooming tropical Water Lilies will add greatly to the 

 beauty of your pool. As a general rule the size of the blooms de- 

 pends greatly upon the space given to each plant. The much

 these is made after June 1, in strong growing plants from pots. 

 You are bound to succeed with them if you follow the instructions 

 given in the Dreer Aquatic leaflet.
