Beldt’s Quality Water Lilies Always Grow 
Mr. Martin Vander Vaer is well pleased with plants received from us. 
Following letter received from Mr. 
Vander Vaer:—"Please send me at 
once your large collection of plants, 
also your book, "Tropical Aquariums 
and Water Gardens.” 
Also please find enclosed a picture 
of my pool for which you furnished 
me lilies, fish, and plants, and I do 
not hesitate to say that they were 
the finest blooms around here. We 
had lilies from early July till Novem¬ 
ber. Some had 9 and 10" blossoms. 
Yours truly, 
Martin Vander Vaer

It is easy to make a small lily pool like this
