WATER LILY POOLS 
To meet the demand for an inexpensive but 
serviceable Water Lily pool, we have designed 
and had constructed, especially for us, galvan¬ 
ized iron pools. These are made in both square 
and oval shape, of heavy material, are firmly 
and neatly constructed and will last for years 
in use. These are equipped so that overflow and 
draw-off can be attached. They are made to 
proper depth so that Lilies can be planted either 
in boxes and placed in the pools or planted di¬ 
rectly into the pool in compost. Sizes and 
prices as follows : 
Square pool, 4^7x414'-17*4 ” deep... $28.75 each 
Oval pool, 4j4 , x6'-17" deep .$37.50 each 
Oval pool, 5'x7'-17" deep.$39.75 each 
EVERGREEN SHRUBS 
The dark green, glossy foliage of the Broad-leaved Evergreens, always attractive, is of a fasci¬ 
nating beauty hard to describe. When fittingly placed in a foundation planting, in nooks in the 
rock garden or in massed effects where locations and conditions permit, they are really an indis¬ 
pensable class of plants. 
Daphne Cneorum. (Garland Flower). One of 
the best of the early flowering, dwarf, bushy, 
Evergreen plants. The dense clusters of rose- 
pink flowers, appearing in May and occasion¬ 
ally throughout the season, are almost as de¬ 
liciously fragrant as the Arbutus. Retains its 
foliage through the winter. Does well in 
partial shade but is at its best in full sunlight. 
2 and 3 yr. plants, 6 to 8 in. 40c. each ; 8 to 
10 in. 65c. each; extra selected plants, $1.00 
each. 
EUONYMUS 
The following varieties of Euonymus are of 
the radicans type. These are dense growing, 
trailing vines and may be used to cover tree 
trunks, walls, etc. However, these plants make 
splendid Evergreen Shrubs if kept pruned back 
and may be used as Evergreen edgings for 
walks, beds and borders or as single specimens.
