NEW! Portable Lily Pool 

Description of Pool 
Phis new; ready-nrade-bthy_poct-is-mredeccSee-of the new plastic-niaterials and has been 
especially designed for the garden of restricted area. It is pretty as a picture itself. It’s 
practically indestructible. Absolutely no trouble to make, because it’s already made : 
and so inexpensive you can have several of them for various places for far less than it would 
cost you to make one of reinforced concrete. 
And the best part of this Lily pool is that it is portable. In other words, you can have it in 
one place this year and some place else next year if you wish. You can place it so its sides are 
high above surrounding garden or !awn or you can arrange it so that the top is at ground level. 
It is resistant to sunlight, chemicals, grease, abrasion. There is not even a framework to 
assemble. And if by any chance you have the space or inclination, you yourself can easily 
move it into the house or cellar for the Winter to store your goldfish, or to store over the Winter.

Suggestions for tre Care 
Your Lilies 
Hardy Lilies may be planted any time from the Ist of 
April until the middle of August. 
Tropical Lilies may be planted when the temperature 
averages seventy degrees or about May 25th. 
Water Lilies come into flower early in the season and 
bloom until frost. 
Concrete pools are best left full of water and covered 
with boards and straw. Hardy Water Lilies will winter in 
the pool if the water does not freeze deeply, but Tropical 
Lilies are best considered as annuals and purchased new 
each year. Hardy Lilies growing in boxes may be taken 
into a cool basement until Spring. Care to be taken not 
to allow them to dry out. 
Running water is neither necessary nor desirable and 
may retard the development of Water Lilies by keeping 
the temperature too low. 
New concrete pools should be filled with water and 
drained at least four (4) times before any fish or plants 
are introduced. 
Planting instructions are attached to every Water Lily 
tuber shipped.
