Few flowers are so democratic in habit—Water Lilies 
— 
grow readily in tub, pool, or sluggish stream. Few flowers 
require so little thought and care—nature herself seems 
to supply the needs of Water Lilies. 
Hardy Water Lilies, which may remain in the pool all 
winter, should be planted in May and June. You may 
select various colors—white, pink, dark red, yellow—thus 
~—~ 
adding to the charm and value of your garden. I shall be 
glad to send you a copy of my 
Book of Water Lilies 
which shows by word and drawing how to make a pool, lists I 
many rare varieties, and pictures in natural color several of ; 
the most desirable. Write for a copy.

a new bush. It can be 
transplanted in the fall 
and given protection

In two or three 
months roots will form 
on the twig. Now cut 
it apart from the bush 
with a spade 
Next fill in the little 
ditch thus burying 
that part of the twig 
from which the bark 
is removed
