\Kardy ‘Water 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-
