Description:
Postcard view of a lily pond in Tower Grove Park. Back of card: One of the series of eight lily ponds in Tower Grove Park, St. Louis. The ponds were constructed on a gradual fall, so that one empties into the other. In order that the display may be constant, both night and day-blooming lilies are planted. Bordering the ponds are various water-loving plants. Tower Grove Park, containing approximately 300 acres in the southern section of the city, was donated by Henry Shaw, who also established the Missouri Botanical Garden, commonly known as Shaws Garden.
