HARDY XYHPH^^EAS. 



(Continued.) 



Odorata 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 

 \ in a tub. 20 cts. each ; ^2 00 per doz. 

 .. — — iOdorata rosea (si>ti. N. rnbrn). The well-known 

 Cape Cod Pink Pond Lily. Unfortunately this vari- 

 ety does not succeed under all conditions, and we 

 advise planting Tubirosa rosea instead, which is 

 very simil.nr, but having a much stronger constitu- 

 tion and much freer flowering. 50 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 A', o. 

 , rosta — and the self-color is retained throughout the 

 v. season. $1.25 each. 

 \j9dorata sulphurea. One of the very best hybrid 

 Nymphasas. The greatly fragrant flowers are sul- 

 phur-yellow, 4 to 5 inches in diameter, and stand- 

 ing 3 to 4 inches out of the water ; leaves floating, 

 as in the type, but blotched reddish on the under 

 side, distinct. 50 cts. each ; $5.00 per doz. 



Odorata sulphurea grandiflora. Very similar to 

 the foregiii)ig. PLnnts more vigorous, with light- 

 colored foliage. 75 cts. each; $7.50 jier doz. 



Pygmaea {syn. N. tctragova). A gem. The small- 

 est species in cultivation ; leaves dark 

 green above, with occasional brown 

 blotching, reddish beneath ; flower> 

 white with yellow stamens \\ to 1\ 

 inches across ; very free-flowering, and 

 very useful for growing in tubs. 75 cts. 

 eacli ; $7.50 per doz. 



Pygmaea Helvola [syn. N. tetragona 

 Jlelvola). Similar to the preceding, but 

 with sulphur yellow flowers; petals 

 more pointed ; 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. 



N\MrH.] A l'Yf,M.^iA. 



Nymph.«a Tubekosa Rosea. 



Obinsoni. The large, floating flowers- 

 of this distinct and striking variety are 

 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 coUec-- 

 'ion. $100 each ; $10.00 per doz. 

 Tliberosa {syn. N. remfotmis). A na- 

 tive 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 mod- 

 erate quantity. The plant is a robust 

 and luxuriant grower, spreading rap- 

 idly, and should not be planted in the. 

 same pond with moderate-growing va- 

 rieties, or they may be crowded out. 20 cts. each ;. 

 $•2.00 'per doz, 

 Tuberosa maxima {JV. odorata maxitna of Gar- 

 liens). A lorm with round leaves; flowerr me- 

 dium to large, cup-shaped, pure while, with the- 

 strong aromatic fragrance of N. odorata. Very 

 free-flowering. 20 cts. each ; $2.00 per doz. 

 uberosa rosea. Flowers an exquisite shade of 

 pink, standing above 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 Richardson!. 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 droo]iing, forming a. 

 perfect globe. No variety in our Water Garden is 

 admired by visitors more than this. The immense - 

 snowball-like flower, 8 inches in diameter, was de- 

 clared to be the finest white Water Lily of all..
