OUR WATER CARDENS 
In the garden spot of United States with an abundance of flowing 
water supplied with artesian wells we have located our water gardens 
near the little city of Beaver Crossing, Nebraska. The climate is ideal for 
the growing of hardy water lilies and the conditions are perfect for the 
propagation of fancy goldfish. Imagine, if you can, the banks of a stream 
covered with hollyhocks, thousands of water lilies in bloom in the many 
pools, various kinds of other flowers growing over the entire farm and 
thousands of goldfish glistening in the sun. 
Pay Us a Visit 
Visitors are welcome any day in the year. Many thousands visit our 
gardens during the season. We have had as many as two thousand visitors 
on a single day. Many of our customers drive out during the summer 
months and make their selections while the plants are in bloom. Plan to 
visit the gardens during the blooming season and see this wonderful sight. 
How to Reach Our Cardens 
Beaver Crossing is eighteen miles southwest of Seward and about 
thirty miles almost due west of Lincoln. Three hard surfaced roads lead 
into the town and any one will direct you to the gardens. Our office is 
maintained at Seward where all correspondence should be addressed. 
Importance of Our Location 
Nebraska being almost the center of the United States we are in an 
ideal spot to make shipments to all parts of the country. The climate is 
ideal to make strong, vigorous plants. We want to strongly impress upon 
you that we are not distributors but actual producers operating our own 
ponds and lakes from which we ship thousands of water lilies and gold¬ 
fish each year. Visit the gardens and see for yourself how we grow them. 
Our Prices 
We believe our prices are as low as any reliable grower can offer on 
the same high quality goods. You usually get what you pay for and the 
best goods are the cheapest in the end. 
Many pleasures grow stale and unprofitable but I have never heard of 
any one growing tired of their lily pool, nor have I ever heard any one dis¬ 
continuing the propagation of water lilies and goldfish once they have 
had the pleasure of such a water garden. Can you think of anything more 
pleasant than the quiet of a secluded spot where you can go and be alone 
with your thoughts, viewing the beauties of Nature's most gorgeous of 
flowers, the “water lily.’’ 
If you need peace and tranquility go to a lily pool and give yourself up 
to its spell. There is nothing more soothing, nothing that more completely 
carries one away from cares. Plan this year to have such a place.
