PERENNIAL (Hardy) WATER-LILIES 
We have painstakingly selected what we consider the best colors and most popular priced perennial water- 
lilies. They combine the qualities of prolific blooms and sturdy growth as well as lovely flowers. The flowers 
include a wide variety of colors such as —rich reds, beautiful whites, shell pinks to deep rose, yellow, and 
orange or sunset. 
All perennial water-lilies are equally at home in large or small, natural or concrete pools, half barrels, or 
tubs. Little care or experience is necessary to grow water-lilies—just keep the roots from freezing, give them sun- 
light, rich soil, warm and shallow water, and they will delight you with abundant flowers and luxuriant growth 
year after year.
