riic hardy wafer lilios bcgia to ilower 



rv oarly in tlio soasoii. In sheltered 



lids the first week in June will see sev- 



,i\\ of tliein in bloom, and from that 



iiic until well into HeptcMnbcr llowers of 



iidy water lilies can be pieked. The 



■ots of the iiafdy water lilies will coiu- 



,nce to liower within a few weeks after 



aiiting and will keep on bloonung 



iroughout the season. The hardy lilies

se above the water on stums of from 



X to nine inches; others float on the 



-irface, presenting an endles.s variety in 



■af and flower. 



The best of the hardy lilies sprinjj 



roni the American species. Nynipha^a 



nlorata, Nympha?a reniformis (or tubo- 



osa), as it is more commonly called, and 



lie Mexican variety, Xympha>a ]\Iexicana. 



These, with the European species, 



Nympha'a alba and Xyniph^a alba rubra, 



iiid the Chinese Nympluea tetragoiia. or, 



IS it is better known, pygmjca. have all 



tieen used by the hybridist to give us the 



■iiiany beautiful forms we now possess. 



Some Good Nymphaeas. 



Xympha'a odorata, the white, fragrant 

 l'(Ui<l lily of the northeastern states, is 

 -lill a desiralile one. and should lie grown 

 iiy every jierson who cultivates water 

 lilies. By the side of the one .ju.st men- 

 tioned should be planted Nymphipa odo- 

 lata rosea, the far-famed Cajie Cod pink
