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. 
Ferris' . _ CHROMATELLA. Handsome sulphur'ycllow, the leaves of rich 
Water-Lilies green attractively splotched with maroon. Very free flowering. 
and Pool $1.00 each. 
Plants are ESCARBOUCLE. Bright intense red, deepening to crimson. Strong, 
All Extra vigorous grower; free blooming. Should be in every collection. 
Choice, $2.00 each.

rosy crimson; rapid grower and very free bloomer. An excep' 
tional variety. $2.00 each. 
MARLIAC WHITE. Lovely broad blooms of pure, waxen white with bright yellow 
stamens; fragrant. Continuous bloomer. $1.00 each. 
PAyL HARIOT. Exquisite blending of colors makes this a very popular sort; cup' 
shaped blooms open yellow with flesh tints, deepening on succeeding days to orange 
and copper-red. $1.25 each. 
PINK OPAL. A great favorite, bearing an abundance of full'pctaled, cup'shaped flow' 
ers of deep, rich, glossy pink. Handsome, reddish green foliage. $1.10 each. 
SOMPTUOSA. Enormous, double blooms of a satiny rose'pink, with deep orange 
stamens; fragrant. Strong grower; heavy bloomer. $1.65 each. 
If any of the Water Lilies are desired by parcel post, add 5c each. 
OTHER SELECTED POOL PLANTS 
PARROT FEATHER (Myriophyllum). Long, trail' 
ing stems and whorls of feathery, bright green 
foliage. Beautiful edging plant. Plant at the edge 
in very shallow water, as soon as received. 22c 
each. 
WATER POPPIES. Each plant throws out many 
floating runners, bearing large yellow blossoms all 
summer long. Plant as you would a Water Lily, 
placing it in shallow water. 20c each. 
WATER HYACINTHS. Delicate spikes of orchid' 
tipped flowers are beautiful and interesting. The 
plants float on the water, but will produce more 
flowers and foliage when their root'tips can reach 
soil near the water's edge. Excellent for the 
spawn of goldfish. 20c each; 4 for 55c. 
If any of the Pool Plants are desired by 
parcel post, add 4c each, or 6c for 3.
