Why Not Have a Lily Pool 
n Your Garden or Greenhouse? 
Many varieties of Water Lilies can be grown in a pool 
(or tub) just as well as in a small pond. Every garden has 
soil, water, and sunshine — all the lilies need. They grow 
as readily as asters or sweet peas — and are far more beautiful, 
fragrant, and unusual. If you have a greenhouse you can 
have blooms all the year. My new booklet 
w 
Water Lilies and Water Plants 
pictures several varieties in nature’s glorious colors. The 
best sorts for garden and green house growing are described. Full 
directions are given for constructing a water garden, with a list 
of plants that will be useful with the lilies. Write to-day for 
a copy of this booklet and plan for a water garden this summer.

For YOUR Garden 
JBIMB 
Delicately nurtured roses, 
propagated in hot green- 
houses, are not suitable for 
planting out-of-doors. Even if 
they do not die at the first touch 
of frost it will take them years to 
get acclimated so that they will 
bloom freely. What you want for 
your rose garden is plants that have 
been grown under conditions similar 
to what you can offer them. 
Fairfax Roses 
are propagated under natural conditions and 
wintered out-of-doors. They are hardy and 
vigorous, immune to frost and snow, 
and should thrive in YOUR garden as 
well as they do in ours. They will 
bloom luxuriantly the FIRST season 
— rich, rare blooms full of color and per- 
fume — without special care or nursing.
