As the largest growers of Water-Lilies and other Aquatic plants and the limited space available to properly describe them in 

 this catalogue, we have found it necessary to issue a Special Water Lily Book, which contains not only a full descriptive price 

 list of Water Lilies, Aquarium plants and other Aquatics, but also Hardy Perennial Plants suitable for the margin of Pools, 

 Swamps, etc., together with full cultural directions. 



We will be pleased to send a copy free on application.
