Complete Collection for the Small Pool 
You’ll Enjoy This Beautiful Water Garden 
P ERHAPS you have dreamed of a pool in your 
garden and if you have you could not have 
imagined one more pleasing and colorful than 
this. The three lilies are each of them as fine as 
anything in their class with big, bright flowers, easy 
to grow and just as free in bloom as possible. Plant 
the lilies in separate boxes and space them well giv¬ 
ing them a good rich soil. The aquatics may be 
planted in the shallow water of the margins or 
raise the containers in which they are planted to 
within a couple of inches of the surface. They may 
be planted separately or two or three kinds may be 
placed together. The Egyptian Papyrus particularly 
likes rich soil and when well grown will reach 
eight or ten feet high. The Hyacinth blooms best 
where the roots reach the soil.

A REAL POOL 
May 17, 1934. 
Dear Sirs: 
Last year I ordered your small pool collec¬ 
tion which I received and set out immediately. 
The three lilies and water plants were won¬ 
derful and bloomed throughout the summer 
and early fall. They wintered in the pool and 
withstood 40° below zero. 
Very truly yours, 
MRS. F. J. POLLUTRO, 
North Collins, New York. 
A NILE GARDEN 
STRONG PLANTS 
April 21, 1934. 
Dear Sirs: 
It may interest you to know that all the pool 
plants I have purchased from you have been 
finer than any I have bought from other con¬ 
cerns. They are stronger and better. 
Respectfully yours, 
M. L. FILE, 
Charlotte, Michigan. 
A REAL EGYPTIAN POOL 
From the Land of Pharoahs 
Enjoy this unique Garden of the East using the very plants that have 
been cultivated in the Orient for thousands of years. The Lotus is the 
most exotic of flowers. The huge papery blossoms exhale a strange 
incense-like fragrance. The Papyrus is the same Egyptians made paper 
from. 
SACRED LOTUS. Pink. 
GLORIOSA. Red Water Lily. 
COMANCHE. Sunset Water Lily. 
EGYPTIAN PAPYRUS. Plumy heads. 
WATER HYACINTH. Orchid like. 
WATER POPPY. Yellow flowers. 
COLLECTION No. 41. 
10 FLOWERS FIRST MONTH 
July 10, 1934. 
Dear Sirs: 
I thought that you would be interested 
in knowing that your lilies and plants 
arrived safe and have made splendid 
growth after their long journey. Within 4 
weeks after planting I had 10 flowers on 
three different lilies at one time and their 
colors were all you said they would be. 
Your prices are the most reasonable I 
have seen in catalogues from all over the 
country and your lilies surpass those of 
a neighbor that were bought elsewhere. 
Thanking you, I remain 
Sincerely, 
A. W. BOECKER, 
Philadelphia, Pa.
