ROCK GARDENS 
There is nothing quite so fascinating on the landscape as a beau¬ 
tiful Rock Garden. A natural slope, terrace, or at the back of a 
pool is the ideal location. Plant all rocks firmly before setting out 
evergreens or perennials, tipping them so that the moisture will go 
into the ground around them, not drain away. Set your plants in 
good, well drained soil, not pockets that will hold water like a cup, 
but see that they receive sufficient moisture especially until well 
established. 
In perennials, we especially recommend varieties that are marked 
with an (*) on this and preceding pages, and, of course, you will 
want some evergreens. Junipers, Arbor-Vitaes, Mugho Pine, Yew, 
and any of the small transplanted Spruce and Fir are desirable, and 
will make your rock garden an attractive picture throughout the 
year. (Don’t overlook the Rock Gardens on pages 37 and 69).

Water Lilies 
BEAUTIFUL HARDY WATER LILIES 
For Your 
Pools and 
Sunken Tubs 
There is nothing so fascinating to the whole family as a pool, especially 
when appropriately planted with Lilies and Water Plants. Contrary to the 
general belief, they are extremely easy to grow and bloom, particularly our 
extra hardy, Everblooming Water Lilies listed below. 
Plant in a box, wooden pail or tub, using one-fourth well-rotted manure 
to three-fourths garden loam. Cover the roots carefully, tamping the soil, 
then cover and tamp one-inch layer of clean sand, which prevents the 
soil being stirred up and discoloring the water. 
CHROMATELLA. Handsome sulphur-yellow, 
the leaves of rich green attractively splotched 
with maroon. Very free flowering. #1.00 each. 
PAUL HARIOT. Exquisite blending of colors 
makes this a very popular sort; cup-shaped 
bloom opens yellow with flesh tints, deepening 
on succeeding days to orange and copper-red. 
#1.25 each. 
JAMES BRYDON. Extremely large blooms of 
rich rosy crimson, rapid grower and very free 
bloomer. An exceptional variety. #2.00 each. 
ESCARBOUCLE. Bright intense red, deepening 
to crimson. Strong, vigorous grower; free 
blooming. Should be in every collection. #2.00 
each. 
MARLIAC WHITE. Lovely broad blooms of 
f iure, waxy white with bright yellow stamens; 
ragrant. Continuous bloomer. #1.00 each. 
SOMPTUOSA. Extra large, somewhat double 
blooms of a satiny rose-pink. Strong grower, 
heavy bloomer. The finest pink. #1.50 each. 
(If any of the Water Lilies are desired by par¬ 
cel post, add 5c each). 
Other Selected Pool Plants 
PARROT FEATHER (Myriophyllum). Long, 
trailing stems and whorls of feathery, bright 
green foliage. Beautiful as an edging plant. 
25c per bunch. 
WATER POPPIES. Each plant throws out many 
floating runners, bearing large yellow blossoms 
all summer long. Plant as you would a water 
lily. 15c each. 
WATER HYACINTHS. Delicate spikes of lav¬ 
ender flowers that are beautiful and interesting. 
The plants float on the water but will produce 
more flowers when not allowed to drift about. 
Excellent for the spawn of goldfish. 15c each; 
4 for 50c. 
(If any of the Pool Plants are desired by parcel 
post, add 4c each, 8c for 3).
