T here is something fascinating about a Lotus. Symbolic 
of purity under temptation stands the Lotus, so the 
followers of Buddha have said. 
In the Lotus we see beauty of form and harmony of 
color, great concave, shield-like leaves often 2 feet in diam¬ 
eter, large buds borne on long stems 4 to 8 feet tall, enor¬ 
mous flowers with delightful fragrance.

PLANNING A NEW POOL THIS SEASON — REMEMBER 
A naturalistic or informal pool will better fit into the general landscape scheme of your 
garden if it follows nature as closely as possible, the background and margin always being of 
utmost importance. 
The formal-shaped pool will conform to your general scheme of the garden if simple 
and plain. 
And above all else—plan your pool where it will receive full sunlight. 
There is nothing that declares such extravagant dividends on so small an investment 
as a Water Garden. 
The greatest attraction of the pool are the water plants. Plan for them when planning 
your pool.
