Pygmaea. The Japanese While Water Lily, bearing multi- 

 tudes of miniature flowers one and a half to two and a half 

 inches across. A little gem and suitable for growing in 

 aquariums, tubs or shallow pools. 75 cts. each. 



Pygmsea Helvola. A miniature yellow Water Lily, suitable 

 for tubs, aquariums or marginal planting. A very free 

 bloomer. 75 cts. each; $7.50 per doz. 



Robinsoni. The large floating flowers of this distinct and 

 striking variety are difficult to describe, but may be said to 

 have a ground colo. of yellow overlaid with pur- 

 plish-red, the general effect being dark orange-red. 

 $2.50 each. 



Sultan. Valuable owing to its extremely free-flow- 

 ering habit, strong plants having seldom less than 

 six flowers open daily. The flowers are of good 

 size, solferino-red with white shadings and yellow 

 stamens. $10.00 each. 



Tuberosa. A native white variety of very strong 

 growth, flowers from four to nine inches across, 

 • produced in moderate quantity. The various varie- 

 ties of the Tuberosa are suitable for planting in 

 deep water, and should have plenty of room to 

 spread, and should not be planted with other varie- 

 ties unless the roots are confined in tubs or boxes, 

 otherwise they will crowd out the smaller growing 

 varieties. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $18.00 

 per 100. 



Tuberosa, Gloire=du=Temple=sur=Lot. One 

 of the most beautiful French varieties yet intro- 

 duced. The flowers are full double like Richard- 

 soni, but of a tender salmon-pink color the first 

 day, fading to white on the third day. The petals 

 are somewhat crinkled, each tip being turned in 

 like a hook, giving the whole flower a very artistic 

 and fluffy effect. For best results it requires water 

 from 2 to 3 feet deep. $10.00 each.

 Tuberosa Maxima. A free- flowering variety; flow- 

 ers from four to eight inches across; pure white and 

 very fragrant. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per 

 doz.; $18.00 per 100. 

 Tuberosa rosea. Flowers an exquisite 

 shade of pink, standing above the water. 

 A good, vigorous grower, of the easiest 

 culture. 50 cts. each. 

 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 cen- 

 tre. The flowers stand well above the 

 water, the sepals and outer petals droop- 

 ing, forming a perfect globe. No variety 

 in our Water Garden is admired by vis- 

 itors more than this. The immense snow- 

 ball-like flower, 8 inches in diameter, 

 was declared to be the finest White Lily 

 of all. (See cut.) 50 cts, each. 

 Wm. Doogue. A magnificent Lily of chaste and delicate coloring, flowers 

 h\ to 6 inches in diameter, beautifully cup-shaped and of a pleasing shell- 

 pink color, with royal pink sepals. A very symmetrical and distinct flower 

 of great Fubstance, wilh petals of an extraordinary width; of free growth 

 and flowering continuously throughout the season. $1.50 each.
