I Why Not Have a Lily Pond | 
I In Your Garden or Greenhouse ? | 
1 Many varieties of Water Lilies can be grown in i 
I a pool (or tub) just as well as in a small pond. j 
1 Every garden has soil, water and sunshine — all the 1 
1 lilies need. They grow as readily as asters or sweet | 
1 peas — and are far more beautiful, fragrant and un- i 
1 usual. If you have a greenhouse you can have 1 
1 blooms all the year. My new booklet | 
1 Water Lilies and Water Plants | 
1 pictures several varieties in nature's glorious col- j 
1 ors. The best sorts for garden and greenhouse i 
I growing are described. Full directions are given i 
f for constructing a water garden, with a list of | 
j plants that will be useful with the lilies. Write | 
1 today for a copy of this booklet and plan for a j 
1 water garden this summer. i

-■1 The most important horticultural acquisition of recent 1 
~_ years. Awarded the only Silver Medal ever given by 1 
i the Massachusetts Horticultural Society for novelty 1 
^ and excellence in Sw^eet 1 
Corn. = 
DE LUE'S GOLDEN GIANT | 
is the result of eleven years' 1 
selection by Dr. Frederick p 
S. De Lue of Boston, Mass., I 
from the product of "Howl- | 
ing Mob" crossed with | 
"Golden Bantam." 1 
With its 12 to 16-rowed | 
ears it gives nearly four § 
times the yield per acre 1 
that the Golden Bantam i 
does w^ith its smaller 8- 1 
rowed ears. The stalks are § 
short and fre- 1 
quently produce 1 
two ears each. i 
Its orange golden 1 
color is richer; it 1 
is nriore delicious 1 
_ in flavor and is = 
p equally early. = 
I To introduce DE LUE'S GOLDEN GIANT we offer a j 
I limited quantity in packets containing 25 kernels each i 
i at 25 cents the packet, not more than 4 packets to § 
i any one customer, postpaid anywhere in' the United | 
i States and possessions. §
