if *j* Egyptian Papyrus. Our most popular water plant. The plumy 
heads in the lower photograph show the grace and distinction of this 
famed plant. The tall, slender stems each bear on the ends big plumy 
heads of threadlike leaves. When well grown the heads are 18" 
across. Grows well in 2 " of water or will grow equally well in damp 
soil about the pool or in the lawn. The Egyptians made paper of it 
by pressing thin slices of the pithy stems in sheets. 35c each. 3 for 75c. 
4: Calla Lily. A very tropical looking plant with large, snowy-white, 
trumpet shaped flowers. Grows freely where the roots may reach the 
water or in damp soil in the border. A fine house plant, it should be 
taken indoors in the fall where it will continue blooming. 50c each.

miniature water lilies. The leaves are beautiful, splotched with red
