Water Lilies Never 
Bore Visitors 
You can’t plant anything in your garden 
so likely to draw favorable comment as ten¬ 
der water lilies. They grow equally well in 
a tub or a pool; you need only add . 
water as it evaporates. The care 
is nothing; the results are really 
amazing. £ 
The so-called “tender lilies’’ are 
perhaps better for ordinary use than 
the hardy sorts. They bloom as 
freely, and do not suffer in extreme ' ' ff| 
hot weather. Since most of them IJ 
originated in the tropics, their colors ^ 
are usually more vivid and striking. 
^ Exquisite Blooms Can 
Easily Be Yours 
Water Lilies of all kinds are easy to 
-- grow. We have a booklet of cul- 
tural directions and other useful 
information which contains the 
catalogue of plants which we can 
furnish—a far larger assortment 
than you would believe possible. 
This booklet will help you greatly 
if you have or would like to have 
a water garden. Tells the whole 
story in a simple, readable way 
K you’ll appreciate. To those who ask 
for it. we’ll gladly send a copy, but 
to avoid disappointment you should 
make the request soon, as the edition 
is limited.

Plant Blueberries 
The Blueberry, although among the finest of 
fruits and the finest of all berries for pies, is 
almost unknown in the average garden. This is 
due to the scarcity of nursery grown plants, the 
only kind that transplant easily. 
We have to offer this Spring some excellent 
nursery grown plants—ideal for the home garden. 
All that is needed is some good garden soil and 
the plants will take care of themselves. They 
are very hardy, rapid growers and heavy bearers. 
In the Summer when you are eating luscious Blue- 
berry pie made from berries picked from your 
own bushes, you will realize the wisdom of 
planting Blueberries.
