PYGMY WATER LILIES 
T HESE are amongst our daintiest lilies and quickly make 
themselves at home. Some are very dwarf, others inter¬ 
mediate, but all are free flowering and just the plants to 
fill in that odd corner. For the tiny pool or tub garden they 
are unexcelled. They do best in 6 to 8 inches of water and a 
box a foot across will accommodate them.

These handsome and interesting Tropical Lilies come 
from the great lakes of Africa, where they grow in profu¬ 
sion, skirting the shallow protected bays. They are a 
favorite food of the Hippopotami, who, snorting in the 
night, scoop the leaves up in great dripping mouthfuls. 
The plants are most fascinating, for they produce flow¬ 
ers and young plants on the older leaves so that in mature 
specimens there will be a ring of floating blossoms. They 
accommodate themselves to almost any space and often 
bloom steadily even in pots. They will not fail to please you. 
PANAMA PACIFIC. See illustration at left. This glor¬ 
ious purple African lily bears large fragrant flowers through¬ 
out the summer, being one of the surest bloomers. Flowers 
remain open quite late in the afternoon.$2.00 
AUGUST KOCH. Illustrated on page 18. An exquisite wis¬ 
taria blue blossom reaching 6 inches in diameter and flow¬ 
ering very persistently. I particularly recommend it for 
small pools, for it is so adaptable.$2.00

Gentlemen : 
"In August. 1937, I received a Gonnere and Gloriosa Water Lily 
from your gardens. As late as it was the Gonnere produced three 
blossoms before frost in late September. During the summer of 1938 
these fine specimens gave us a great deal of satisfaction by their con¬ 
tinued flowering from June till late September. Your lilies are very 
satisfactory and I can recommend them wholeheartedly."

Mr. Terry sent us some very charming views of his pool which 
lack of space prevents us from publishing.

Panama Pacific at 
the left is a very 
satisfactory plant 
and as the photo 
shows blooms most 
freely. The pool is 
in the garden of 
Mrs. C. M. Rontson 
of Farmington, Ill., 
and is an excellent 
example of a taste¬ 
fully designed small 
pool.
