"ATTRACTION” 
Finest Red Hardy Water Lily 
Lakeview Water Lilies Are Sure To Please 
O NE or more specimens of the Hardy Water Lilies (Genus 
Nymphaea) should be in every pool. Fish and plants belong 
together and each profits by the other’s presence. Lily leaves 
shade the Goldfish on hot Summer days, and the fish in turn recip¬ 
rocate by eating up the bugs as rain (or your hose) washes them 
from the surface of the leaves. Water Lilies will adjust themselves 
to small changes in water level. If their general requirements of 
rich soil, shallow water and sunny location are met, very little atten¬ 
tion will be necessary thereafter. 
The varieties we list here are quite hardy and well adapted for 
pools or ponds. They begin to flower very early in the season. In 
our vicinity blooms begin to appear in April and continue steadily 
until October. All lilies properly tagged when shipped.

undersurl^ace.
