For Tubs and Small Pools 
_ Many people feel that limited garden space 
~~ cannot possibly permit the development of a 
lily pool. However, a tub garden can be 
quickly and easily established in a space no 
larger than two or three feet in diameter. If 
you are considering a tub garden or have a miniature pool you will 
find any of these six lilies are ideal for this purpose. There is a 
wide range of selection and choice of color, for we list suitable tropical 
as well as hardy varieties. Each is particularly adapted to limited grow- 
ing areas, and produces an abundance of lovely blooms that are most 
charming in tiny pool or tub garden.

*DAUBEN. One of the first viviparous hybrids—introduced by 
the late William Tricker in 1912. Pale lavender-blue flowers.

pygmy. Flowers are 2 to 214 inches across and a rich deep
