Forty-Fourth Year 
Colorful Hardy Water Lilies Will Beautify 
(Genus Nymphaea) 
O NE or more specimens of the Hardy Water Lilies should be in 
every pool. Fish and plants belong together and each profits 
by the other’s presence. Lily leaves shade the Goldfish on hot 
Summer days, and the fish in turn reciprocate by eating up the bugs 
as rain (or your hose) washes them from the surface of the leaves. 
Water Lilies will adjust themselves to small changes in water level. 
If their general requirements of rich soil, shallow water and sunny 
location are met, very little attention will he necessary thereafter. 
(See detailed instructions for care and planting of lilies, Page 25.) 
The varieties ive list here are quite hardy and well adapted 
for pools or ponds. They begin to flower very early in the season. 
In our vicinity blooms begin to appear in April and continue stead¬ 
ily until October. All lilies properly tagged when shipped.
