HARDY NYMPH JEAS. 
(Continued ) 
Qdorata minor. A miniature form, growing in 
some sections in: shallow water, also where water 
recedes entirely in the summer. A dainty, fragrant, 
white flower, 2 to 3 inches across. Can be grown 
inatub. 20 cts. each; $2.00 per doz. 
Odorata rosea (sy. N. rubra). The well-known 
Cape Cod Pink Pond Lily. Unfortunately this vari- 
ety does not succeed under all conditions, and we 
advise planting 7ybevos: rosea instead, which is 
very similar, but having a much stronger constitu- 
tion and much freer flowering. 40 cts. each; $5.00 
per doz. 
Odorata Luciana. An exquisite variety of vigorous 
growth; leaves green above, reddish beneath; 
flowers 3 to 5 inches across, of a pure rosy-pink— 
not shaded or deeper at base of petals as in JV 9. 
vosea—and the self-color is retained throughout the 
season. $1.00 each. 
Odorata sulphurea. One of the very best hybrid 
Nymphzas. The greatly fragrant. flowers are sul- 
phur-yellow, 4 to 5 inches in diameter, and standing 
3 to 4 inches out of the water; leaves floating, as in 
the type, but blotched reddish on the under side, 
distinct. 450 cts. each ; $5.00 per doz. 
Odorata sulphurea grandiflora. Very similar to 
the foregoing. Plants more vigorous, with light- 
colored foliage. 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 
NympH#A TuBEROSA RICHARDSONI. 
Robinsoni. The large, floating flowers 
of this distinct and striking variety are 
Pygmea (sy7. NV. fetvagona). A gem. 
The smallest species in cultivation ; 
leaves dark green aboye, with occasional 
brown blotching, reddish beneath ; flow- 
ers white, with yellow stamens 13 to 23 
inches across; very free-flowering, and 
very useful for growing in tubs. 75 cts. 
each ; 37.50 per doz. 
7yzmza Helvola (syz. N. tetragona 
Helvola). Similar to the’ preceding, 
but with sulphur-yellow flowers ; petals 
more peinted ; leaves green, early stage 
reddish, blotched all over with brown ; 
extremely free-flowering, and well 
adapted for growing in large aquariums 
or tubs. 75 cts. each; $7.50 per 
doz. 
NympH#A TUBEROSA ROSRA. 
We offer the best of the Newer Hardy Water Lilies on page 236. 
difficult to describe, but may be said to 
have a ground color of yellow overlaid 
with purplish-red, the general effect be- 
ing dark orange-red. The foliage is 
dark green, spotted with chestnut above, 
dark red on the under side. A fine 
variety and should be in every collec- 
tion. $1.50 each; $15.00 per doz. 
Tuberosa (svv. N. reniformis). A 
native variety; the leaves, which are 
deep green, frequently stand 8 to 10 
inches out of the water when crowded 
or grown in shallow water ; flowers vary 
from 4 to.9 inches across, pure white: 
petals broad, concave, and produced in 
moderate quantity. The plant is a 
robust and luxuriant grower, spreading rapidly, and 
should not be planted in the same pond with moder- 
ate-growing varieties, or they may be crowded out. 
20 cts. each ; $2.00 per doz. 
Tuberosa maxima (V. odorata maaima of Gar- 
dens). A form with round leaves; flowers medium 
to large, cup-shaped, pure white, with the strong 
aromatic fragrance of V. odorata. Very free-flow- 
ering. 20 cts. each; $2.00 per dez. 
Tuberosa rosea, Flowers an exquisite shade of 
pink, standing aboye the water. A good, vigorous 
grower, without being rank; a free bloomer and 
much more desirable for general use than the Cape 
Cod Pink Pond Lily, which it closely resembles 
50 cts. each ; $5.00 per doz. 
Tuberosa Richardsoni. This variety should be 
included in every collection. Flowers pure white 
and quite double, the stamens being converted into 
petals which are more or less fluted in the centre. 
The flowers stand well above the water, the sepals 
and outer petals drooping, forming a perfect globe. 
No variety in our Water Garden is admired by vis- 
itors more than this. The immense snowball-like 
flower, 8 inches in diameter, was declared to be 
the finest white Water Lily of all. (See cut.) 50 
cts. each; $5.00 per doz.
