QUATICS FOR THE HOME MORALE 
Did you ever notice how much better you do a job 
when you're calm, relaxed, unworried? 
The pool must go on this year more than ever. We must 
forego expensive pleasures and invest in War Bonds. Yet 
morale can only be at its all high by some recreation. There 
is nothing like the charm of working with Mother Nature to 
heal the soul. 
Winning the war is the job ahead of Americans at this 
time. As we ali go about our daily work contributing as we 
can to ultimate victory, there are cares and anxious moments 
to distract us. We need relaxation and refreshment. 
A pool involves LITTLE space, LITTLE expense and 
LITTLE time or attention. Yet nothing else gives quite so much 
for so little. Aquatic life is fascinating—fishes glide through 
the depths, dragon-flies skim above, green pads unfold and 
waxer blossoms sparkle in the sunlight. The mystic lotus 
rises, breathing the lure of far away land. 
The illustration below is a “LARGE” pool, 15 feet wide and 30 feet long, which we have planted for the past eight 
years, and with complete success year after year. Here we have a rather unusual pool—built to produce the results pictured— 
a dense grouping of leaves and blooms with a mirror pool in center. Here you see eighteen lilies—blooming in all their splen- 
dor—Blue Beauty, Mrs. Pring, Pershing, Chicago, Pink Pearl, August Koch, Juno, Missouri—all these varieties are reliable, 
equally dependable in keeping up a continuous display of fragrant blossoms. In planting, the lilies were placed in boxes, 
containing about a bushel of soil, as the pool is deep a concrete block was placed under each box to bring the top of lily 
box to about 10 inches below water level. 

IN THE CALM WATERS YOU WILL FIND TRANQUILL- 
ITY—RESTFUL DIVERSION FROM THE CARES OF THE 
WORKADAY WORLD. ;
