CHAPTER XV 

 Water-lilies for Special Purposes 



The following lists are designed to help the 

 amateur in making selections of varieties to 

 suit his own peculiar requirements. 



[Editor's Note: No two people will always 

 think alike, and, therefore, there may be some 

 slight differences of opinion about the make-up 

 of some of the following lists, but we beheve 

 that they may be accepted as reasonably true 

 for a majority of cases. There is some con- 

 fusion concerning the names of a few of the 

 water-lilies, and possibly there are totally 

 distinct plants distributed under one name. 

 This is certainly the case with N. pulcherrima, 

 a hybrid raised by Mr. Tricker which is re- 

 corded by him as being sterile. Other 

 cultivators, on the other hand, say that this 

 water-lily produces seed freely with them. It 

 is known that there are two, probably three.
