Hardy Waterlilies for Pools and Ponds 
Willi Hardy Lilies, the hybridist lias obtained excellent results in all the colors from purest white, 
delicate shell-pink, deep rose-pink to richest reds, yellows, and combinations of red and yellow. There is, 
however, no blue hardy Lily. For this color one must go to the Perpetual Dayblooming Lilies. 
Hardy Lilies may be planted any time from the start of growth in spring (about April 1) until the 
last week of August. It is inadvisable to attempt planting before or after these dates. The following 
varieties, both recent introductions and old standard sorts, we consider the best for results. For the con¬ 
venience of our friends we list these varieties by color.
