RED ARETHUSA. I have seen at least 
fifty different varieties of Water Lilies 
and this deep crimson, large broad- 
petal variety, I think, is the best of 
all. I have seen almost an acre of 
these, the top of the water literally 
ablaze. Be sure and include this in 
the group with the Marliacs. Price, 
$1.25.

Water Ellies are easy to grow. Just 
plant them in a pool, in a tub or half 
barrel. Sink the tub in the ground, place 
a few rocks and hardy flowering peren¬ 
nials around the edge, and you have a 
miniature rock garden. 
HOW TO PLANT. Hardy varieties 
live from year to year but will not stand 
freezing. Plant Lilies in a wooden pail 
using two-thirds rich black dirt and one- 
third Bone Meal, thoroughly mixed. 
Place the tuber in the soil until only the 
crown from which leaf starts is show¬ 
ing. Put sand or gravel over the top of 
the dirt and then sink your pail in the 
pool. Water should cover the crown to 
a depth of at least 8 inches. 
WINTER CARE. In winter store the 
plants in a cool basement away from the 
heat but do not allow them to freeze. 
Keep them wet down so the roots will not 
dry out. Renew the soil each year, and 
fertilize as recommended above.
