AUGUST KOCH —Beautiful Wistaria Blue 
A Tropical Water Lily whose easy growing habits has endeared it to thou- 
sands of fanciers. It has the interesting habit of bearing young plantlets in 
the center of the leaves that often bloom too! Give it a box at least 12-18 
inches square and fertilize it regularly throughout the Summer $2 75

JOHNSON’S WATERLILY FERTILIZER 
Animal fertilizers are fine but often turn the water turbid. Always keep the 
water clear for your lilies. To keep your lilies blooming steadily, fertilize 
about once a month during the growing season. For new Lilies mix 1 cupfull 
to each bushel of soil. This is a chemical fertilizer, easier to use, and more 
concentrated than animal fertilizers.

GORGEOUS NIGHT BLOOMING WATER LILIES 
Nightbloomers are misleading, for although 
opening at dusk and remaining open all night, 
they also stay open until 10 or 11 o’clock the 
following morning. It is also noteworthy that 
the same blossom opens on several successive 
evenings. There is no more glorious sight 
than these huge blossoms against the foil of 
their own leaves, often marked and beauti- 
fully scalloped. These natives of India reach 
perfection in our warm Summers. Once you 
have grown them yourself, I am sure you 
will agree with my enthusiasm.

CULTURE. Nightbloomers cannot be safely 
planted out until the weather is settled and 
warm. We do not recommend planting out in 
the latitude of Chicago or New York before 
June Ist. Give them a clear space of at least 
4x4 feet in a sunny position, using a box at 
least 18 inches square and 8 to 12 inches deep 
filled with rich garden loam and about 18 
inches of water over the top of the box.

CULTURE. The ease with which Shallow 
Water and Bog Plants may be grown and their 
low cost makes them invaluable for landscap- 
ing your pool and creating a natural effect. 
Many of them have bright flowers and are at- 
tractive in their own right. Others are nota- 
ble for the charming effects they create. Plant 
them in pots, pails or boxes, using preferably 
a clayey soil. If water is too deep, pots may 
be raised with bricks. A little fertilizer 2 to 3 
times a month is beneficial. 
PLANTING DEPTH. Those marked thus + do
