HARDY water LILIES 
There is nothing more fascinating than Water 
Lilies in the garden. The smaller the garden the more 
desirable is the delightful feature of a pool even if it 
only be a half a barrel sunk in the ground. 
It will be a spot of daily interest. 
The needs of the Water Lilies are the same whether 
they are grown in a tub sunk in the groimd, a concrete 
pool or a natural pond. Full sunshine, rich soil and 
warm shallow water. 
Of course there are all kinds of Water Lilies. Tropi¬ 
cal Water Lilies, both day and night blooming, that 
need special built tanks in greenhouses to keep them 
alive in the winter. 
We, however, confine ourselves exclusively to those 
kinds that are hardy and that will grow as the wild 
pond Lilies. 
Their colors range through all the reds and pinks, 
beautiful combinations of yellow, buff, orange and 
those glorious white ones that look as if they are 
carved out of wax. 
It is most difficult to describe the colors for it is 
really the changing combinations which add so much 
to their charm. 
From the time the lily pads or leaves come up out 
of the mud and float on the surface of the pool there 
is a constant change. Leaf after leaf develops until 
the plant gets strong enough, then will come a bud, 
which daily gets larger vmtil it lifts itself well out of 
the water expanding in the early morning, closing 
about midday^ opening again the following morning.
