EVERBLOOMING, EXOTIC, 














Their Fragrant Blossoms 

ROPICAL WATER LILIES will lift 
lees garden pool out of the ordinary 
—make it the envy of your friends, the 
talk of the neighborhood. Yielding pro-: 
digiously of their bright-hued flowers, 
even one plant will quicken your enthusi- 
asm. 
They grow with lush freedom as spring 
weather becomes settled and warm, and 
are in bloom almost from the day they 
are planted until the frosts of autumn. 
To fit the small pool they may be read- 
ily dwarfed by planting in small boxes 
(15 inches across), where they will flower 
just as freely but proportionate as to size. 
With room to develop they reach a size 
and grandeur few other plants ever attain. 
CULTURAL NOTES ON PAGE 10 
PAMELA 
(One-third natural diameter) 
The photograph above is of a blossom on its first 
day of opening. Note how the stamens form an up- 
right fringe abut the central stigmatic cup which at 
this time is full to overflowing of crystal liquid. The 
huge, full-petalled blossoms often reach 8 to 10 inches 
across. Caerulean blue in color, they are particularly 
bright as the buds open on the first morning reflecting 
the blue of the sky. The buds as well as the leaves 
of this fine variety are spotted and mottled with 
brown which causes considerable comment.

CHARMING STAR LILIES 
Growing in the pool of Mr. Walter Jones of Arizona. We think they arc 
among the most colorful and spritely of all lilies. Described on page 24.
