For Tubs and Small Pools 
Many people feel that limited garden space 
cannot possibly permit the development of a 
lily pool. However, a tub garden can be 
quickly and easily established in a space no 
larger than two or three feet in diameter. If 
you are considering 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 of color, for we list suitable tropical 
as well as hardy varieties. Each is particularly adapted to limited grow¬ 
ing areas, and produces an abundance of lovely blooms that are most 
charming in tiny pool or tub garden.

HOW TO MAKE A TUB CARDEN 
We furnish everything you need complete for $5.00. (See 
offer above.) The best effect will he gained by sinking the 
tub in the ground right up to the rim. Fill the tub half full 
of rich soil, cover this over with half an inch of clean sand 
and fill with water. The little “pool” is now ready for the 
water lifies, aquatics and perennials, rock plants and fish.
