LKardy Ijdater (Lilies 
Water Lilies all summer 
To have hardy Water Lilies blooming from May till frost 
you need only a pool, 8 to 12 inches of good soil, a foot or 
more of water, and sun. Once established, they are the easiest 
flower grown—no cultivating, no weeding, no watering, except 
to see that the pool does not become dry. They need not be 
taken up during winter if the water is deep enough so it will 
not freeze to the soil. In some soils a concrete pool is not nec¬ 
essary. When needed, it costs little. Instructions for construc¬ 
tion will be sent on request. When grown in boxes the boxes 
should be about 8 inches deep and 14 or 16 inches square. 
Concrete Lily Pools. An illustrated folder telling how to 
construct them, sent free on request. 
These are good strong plants and will bloom a few weeks 
after planting. Water Lilies postpaid when ordered in quan¬ 
tities of $2.00 or* more. Otherwise, postage is additional.
