GENERAL LIST OF 



Hardy Nymphaeas 



Contintied. 



Odorata sulphurea. One of the very best hybrid 

 Nymphaeas. 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. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Odorata sulphurea grandiflora. Very similar 

 to the foregoing. Plants more vigorous, with light- 

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



Pygma;a. The Japanese white Water Lily, bear- 

 ing multitudes 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. 50 cts. each; $5.00 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 color of yellow overlaid 

 with purplish-red, the general effect being 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 collection. $1.00 

 each; $10.00 per doz. 



New and Rare 

 Hardy Nymphaeas. 



We offer some of the very latest intro- 

 ductions, which are quite distinct in color- 

 ing to anything heretofore offered. See 

 page 267. 



AQUARIUM PLANTS. 



The large and increasing demand for 

 plants for Aquariums has led us to make 

 special provision to have an ample supply 

 of these at all seasons of the year. See 

 list on page 274. 



Nymph.>ea Pygm^a 



very fraj 

 per 100. 



Nymphsa Tuberosa Richardsoni. 



Tuberosa. A native white variety of 

 very strong growth, flowers from four 

 to nine inches across, produced in mod- 

 erate quantity. The various varieties 

 of the Tuberosa are suitable for plant- 

 ing in deep water and should have 

 plenty of room to spread and should 

 not be planted with other varieties 

 unless the the roots are confined in tubs 

 or boxes, otherwise they will crowd 

 out the smaller growing varieties. 20 

 cts. each; $2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 

 100. 



Tuberosa Maxima. A free-flowering 

 variety of the above; flowers from four 

 to eight inches across; pure white and 

 rant. 20 cts. each; $2.00 per doz.; $15.00 



Tuberosa 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. 

 25 cts. each; $2.50 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.) 25 

 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Nymph.ea Tuberosa Rosea.
