Romance and Loveliness 
Hover ■round Water Lilies 
From the most remote parts of the globe 
rare specimens of Water Lilies have been 
gathered by travelers and explorers. Japan 
and Australia, China and Africa have con¬ 
tributed to the array, and with the plants 
came the traditions and romance of cen¬ 
turies. 
To their loveliness of form is added ex¬ 
quisite fragrance and wonderful colors— 
red, yellow, blue, lavender, in astonishing 
tints and shades. When the first rays of the 
morning sun touch the petals, the glorious 
round of color begins; nor does it cease with 
twilight and darkness, for then the night- 
bloomers unfold and complete the circle 
of color and fragrance. 
Hardy and Tender Lilies 
For Garden Pools or Tubs 
Hardy varieties may remain in pool or tub all 
winter. 1 here is a score or more of desirable 
kinds from the common white Pond Lily to the 
gorgeously colored Attraction, or the daintily 
tinted Rose Arey. My “Arlington Trio” is a 
group of white, pink, and yellow varieties (one 
of each) which I sell for $3.00. 
Tender varieties are best for pools or tubs and 
are as lovely as the hardy Lilies. The colors 
vary from the white of Gracilis to the deep pink 
of Mrs. C. W. Ward and the violet-hlue of 
Ernest Ludwig. Tender Lilies require no care 
after planting, bloom freely, and should be in 
every garden—small or large. 
My 1923 Catalogue 
shows how easily Water Lilies can be grown by any¬ 
one; how to prepare a tub or pool, and set the plants; 
gives a list of the desirable varieties with prices; 
pictures several in color, and is really a valuable 
booklet for all who are interested in water-gardening. 
I shall be glad to send you a copy on request.
