"PyCMy" LILIES 
For Fabs and Small Fools 
Many people feel that limited garden space cannot possibly permit the de¬ 
velopment of a lily pool. However, a tub garden can be quickly and easily estab¬ 
lished in a space no larger than two or three feet in diameter. If you are con¬ 
sidering a tub garden or have a miniature pool you will find any of these six 
lilies are ideal for this purpose. There is a wide range of selection and choice

"PLEASED WITH RESULTS" 
"The water lilies and plants 
which you sent me, far exceeded 
my expectations as to size and 
quality. The same thing can be 
said of the gold fish. The lilies 
bloomed the next day after plant¬ 
ing, and have bloomed ever since. 
“I am so pleased with the re¬ 
sults so quickly attained that I 
want to express my appreciation 
of the way in which my order was 
handled.” Arthur S. Johnston, 
Beaver Falls, Pa. 
"WELL PACKED" 
“I am happy to say that the en¬ 
tire shipment, including the frogs, 
clams, water lilies and water plants 
arrived on Friday as requested by 
me, and want to take this means 
of complimenting your Shipping De¬ 
partment on the very nice way in 
which everything was packed. From 
all appearances, we are going to 
have a very good looking pool.” 
Louis Van Engers, St. Joseph, 
Mich. 
"3 TO 4 BLOOMS EVERY DAY" 
“Have enjoyed my Blue Beauty 
so much. Has been beautiful—from 
3 to 4 blooms every day since it 
began to bloom, which was a short 
time after planted.” Mrs. Hattie B. 
Taylor, Kinston, N.C. 
VIGOROUS-GROWING HARDY LILIES for Natural Ponds 
PAGE 18 
These are the strong, free-growing, spreading varieties that are so splendid for 
ponds. Varieties listed have luxuriant foliage and beautiful flowers. All are extra 
hardy and especially adapted for naturalizing. The great leaf spread provides shade 
ajid the plants afford protection for the young fish from their natural enemies. Pools 
used for growing game fishes should by all means be planted with these lilies. 
CULTURAL NOTE: Lilies can be planted at the edge of the pond in shallow water 
for they will naturally spread out into the deeper water. Note the very low prices. 
ROSE MAGNOLIA. Flowers of an exquisite shade of pink. 4 to 5 inches across, 
standing well out of the water. 
$1.00 each; $10.00 per doz.; $60 per 100 
W. B. SHAW. Flowers large, of rich rose-pink and very fragrant. Strong grower and 
continuous bloomer of N. Odorata type. 
$1.00 each; $8.50 per doz.; $60 per 100. 
LOOSE. A beautiful, large white lily, 5 to 7 inches across, with a delightful frag¬ 
rance. Especially desirable because of its freedom and continuance of blooming. 
The flowers open very early in the day. One of the best of the white Nymphaeas. 
85c each; $8.50 per doz.; $50 per 100. 
IIOPATCONG (Odorata Gigantea). This is a native of the southwestern states. It re¬ 
quires deeper water than usual and more room to spread than any other lily. It 
is excellent for naturalizing. The leaves are light red underneath and the flowers are 
very large and pure white in color. Fine for bold contrast. 
50c each; $5.00 per doz.; $25 per 100.
