Water Lilies 
Are Like Nothing Else 
Some people believe their own 
grounds are ideal until they see a 
water garden in the grounds of a 
friend. Then the realization 
comes to them that no garden 
can be complete without water 
lilies and aquatic plants. 
Lilies grow readily 
in tubs or in pools 
They need but sunshine, water 
and a little soil to attain perfec¬ 
tion. The pond or tub may be 
used as an aquarium, and serve 
to interest children and elders 
alike with the actions of goldfish, 
tadpoles and small turtles. 
My Booklet gives cultural di¬ 
rections and catalogues all the de¬

terested, send for a copy now, as 
the edition is somewhat limited.
