^ I HE pool is the center of interest in your garden. Water Lilies are the outstand- 
ing feature of every well-planted pool. The padlike leaves floating on the water 
are themselves ornamental. The starlike flowers glisten in the sunshine and glow in the 
moonlight. They are the poetry of the garden, the gems of the pool. 
The Hardy Water Lilies are the backbone of the Water Lily collection, easily grown 
and dependable in bloom. They will give you a long season of glorious bloom. More¬ 
over, if protected from actual freezing during the winder, they will live to flower from 
season to season.

CHANGEABLE COLORS 
As the name implies, the Hardy Water Lilies in this 
group change their colors as the flowers open. 
Aurora. All the colors of a summer dawn are embodied 
in this lovely and interesting Lily. The first day, the 
flowers are a soft rosy apricot. Gradually the color deep¬ 
ens until by the third day, it is a rich red. Each, #1.00. 
Comanche. The largest, and many think it the finest, of 
the Changeable Hardy Water Lilies. At first the big, 
beautiful flowers are of a rich apricot. Gradually, the 
color deepens to a dark coppery orange, flushed with 
red. A real gem. Each, #1.25.

transformation which every flower undergoes. The
