There 1 Something About a LILY POOL 
That Makes The Rest of The 
Garden Seem Commonplace 
The principal value of aquatic gardening is as an endur- 
ing hobby—its purpose to offset the more serious side of life 
by bringing joy, happiness and relaxation. 
Did you ever notice how much better you do a job 
when you're calm, relaxed, unworried? 
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.. 
IN THE CALM WATERS YOU WILL FIND TRANQUIL- 
ITY—RESTFUL DIVERSION FROM THE CARES OF THE 
WORKADAY WORLD.

The illustration below is a “LARGE” pool, 15 feet wide and 30 feet long, which we have planted for the past eicht 
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, 

Today we have a great need—for the com- 
fort and solace which only Nature can provide— 
and we must be thankful that aquatic Plant Life 
is still abundant—without encumbrance of prior- 
ities or rationing. 
We will do our utmost to meet your needs— 
and we feel confident that we are fully prepared 
to serve you in the satisfactory manner and with 
the quality of stock that come from more than 
twenty years of growing experience.

tomers think of our prod-

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.
