Largest Lily Pond.

Near the city of Washington, says the Woman’s Home Companion, is the largest commercial water lily garden in this country, and it Is managed by a woman, Mrs. Helen Fowler. Mrs. Fowler ships 250 water lilies every morning In mid-summer, and selects every flowers herself, for she can tell you just how many times each tightly closed bud will open, and she sends out nothing but the freshest and the best. X At hybridizing Mrs. Fowler is an expert, and one of her new varieties is a beautiful lily called Suffragette.
