JUST WHAT SHALL I PLANT NEAR THE 
LILY POOL? 
This is a question which is asked very often and at times 
hard to decide. The answer is that such perennial plants that 
usually thrive along the banks of streams or ponds are best 
adapted for artificial plantings near the pool; the ground 
around the pool naturally is bound to contain more moisture, 
especially if the soil is light and loamy. We have listed on this 
page a few old favorites, with which you can carry out the 
desired natural effect. It is best to plant more in groups, so 
as to leave open spaces near the pool. 
Blue Siberian Iris (Iris siberica)—Of easy culture and 
very free flowering, very good for naturalizing and planting 
near water. 
Each $0.15 Per dozen $1.50
