"Such Nice Healthy Plants" 
Dear Sir: 
My Cacti arrived May 1st and they came in 
perfect condition. I was surely pleased. Have 
never seen such nice and healthy plants and 
the ''Golden Barrel" was a perfect beauty. I 
have never ordered from you before, but I 
assure you it won't be the last time, for I 
have found a place where you get real plants. 
Thank you so much for the careful attention.

less desert mountains of the Sierra de 
la Paila of Mexico. Bears large, fra¬ 
grant, pale yellow blossoms on the long 
nipples. Each nipple is crowned by 
papery ribbons. Nice plants. 50c.

WATER LILIES 
SEND FOR MY FREE CATALOG 
Nothing can add more beauty to your gar¬ 
den than a Water Lily Pool. No other flower 
is quite like them with their brilliantly colored 
blossoms of red, blue and yellow floating on 
the water among green pads. Everyone enjoys 
them, but few know just how reasonably and 
easily a beautiful pool is made and planted. 
Can you imagine that a lily pool will be in 
bloom almost as soon as planted? Our Tropical 
Water Lilies are shipped with flowers on 
them! They will go right on blooming until 
October or November! And don't forget my 
Hardy Water Lilies in their gorgeous hues 
will thrive even where temperatures fall to 50 
degrees below zero. 
Write for my FREE colored Water Lily Cata¬ 
log, telling how to build pools and describing 
the finest, most reasonably priced collection in 
America.
