Water Lilies gruw readily in ponds or quiet 
streams. No care is needed after the roots are 
planted, yet the lily pond is one of the most in- 
viting places about the estate, the park or the 
cemetery. 
My collection of varieties for the garden and green- 
liouse is complete, and includes pure white, crimson, 
pink, and various shades. I have the largest estal)lish- 
ment in the world devoted exclusively to Nymph.-eas. 
Nelumbiiims. Victorias, and other water plants. I will

the natural water-way. Write for my liooklet — free.
