O'Marana, 



Qeo. Huster. The most 

 notable addition to the 

 tropical Water Lilies since 

 that grand sort A^. C Mar- 

 ana was introduced. This 

 variety may be described 

 as a decidedly improved 

 O'Marana. It has the 

 same vigorous growth and 

 . free-flowering qualities, 

 but the flowers are much 

 finer, the color being a 

 particularly brilliant crim- 

 son. Plants, $2.50 each ; 

 seed, 15 cts. per pkt. 



Jubilee. Flowers 6 to 8 

 inches across, of glistening 

 white, with delicate flush 

 of pink at the base of the 

 petals and sepals; leaves 

 blotched with brown and 

 crumpled at margin. $1..50 

 each. 



Kewensis. Leaves dark 



green, slightly bronzy, vv-ith a few brown blotches ; 

 young leaves more spotted on surface. Flowers 6 to 8 inches 

 'across ; light pink ; petals broadly ovate; sepals light brown- 

 ish green outside, rosy red inside. $1.50 each. 



Lotus (A'^ thernuilis, D. C). The White Lotus, leaves dark, 

 glossy green, 12 to 20 inches in diameter. Flowers white, the 

 broad outer petals suffused pink ; petals concave ; flowers vary 

 from 5 to 10 inches in diameter; a robust species. Plants, 

 SI 00 each ; seed, 15 cts. per pkt. 



OTiarana. A hybrid of dentata type; leaves bronzy green, 

 deeply dentated ; mj.rgin occasionally crumpled. Flowers of 

 the largest size, 10 to 12 inches in diameter ; sepals reflexed 

 when fully open ; petals pinkish red, with a nearly white streak 

 up the middle; stamens orange. A vigorous grower and very 

 free-flowering. Plants, $2. .50 each; extra size, $5.00 each; 

 seed, 15 cts. per pkt. 



Rubra-rosea. One of the best red Water Lilies in cultiva- 

 tion ; leaves bronzy green, blotched brown. Flowers large 

 and massive, 8 to 10 inches across, rosy carmine; petals broad 

 at base, pointed; tips of stamens orange brown. $2.00 each. 



Sturtevanti. Leaves light bronzy green, rather broadly pel- 

 tate, much crumpled at margin. Flowers 8 to 12 inches across, 

 quite double; color pure pink to bright red ; petals very broad, 

 concave, incurved; stamens incurved, tips light brovvfuish 

 orange. A huge, massive flower, varying greatly in color of 

 leaf and bloom, according to culture; should be started early 

 in a temperature of §0° to 85°, and given liberal treatment. 

 $2.50 each ; extra size, $5.00 each. 



TENDER NIGHT-BEOOMING 

 NYMPH^EAS. 



This class is equally as beautiful as the day-flowering 

 sorts, and are especially desirable for cutting, opening as 

 they do soon after sunset, and remaining open until near 

 noon next day. The flowers open and close 3 or 4 days 

 in succession, as do the Hardy Nymphseas. 

 Deaniana. A strong and vigorcjus grower ; leaves dark 

 green, nearly bronze; much crumpled at margin. 

 Flowers pure, light pink, darker than M.de/icaizssima ; 

 sepals deep rose pink ; petals broadly ovate, concave ; 

 stamens red. $1.50 each. 

 Devoniensis. This variety was the first hybrid of note ; 

 leaves 18 inches across, of dark bronzy green ; under 

 surface greenish brown; flowers pure red, 6 to 10 inches 

 in diameter ; a universal favorite. 50 cts. each ; $5.00 

 per doz. 

 Dentata [N. ortigiesiana , Planch). The largest flower- 

 ing and best white night-blooming Nymphjea. Flowers 

 measure from 8 to 12 inches in diameter ; petals narrower 

 than in the type, opening out horizontally ; leaves dark 

 glossy green, heavily dentated. Plants, 50 cts. each; 

 $5.00 per doz.; seed 15 cts. per pkt! 

 Rubra, Somewhat similar to N. Devoniensis, but petals 

 less pointed; flowers 6 to 10 inches across, of deep 

 purplish red; sepals dull purplish red; stamens cin- 

 nabar red, becoming brownish ; foliage reddish bronze, 

 turning to green. $1.00 each. 



Frank Trelease [Crim- 

 son Devoniensis). This 

 superb tender night- 

 blooming Water Lily 

 surpasses all other 

 red varieties by the 

 brilliancy and depth of 

 the rich glowing dark 

 crimson of its flowers, 

 which are identical in 

 form to JV. Devoniensis, 

 9 to 10 inches in diam- 

 eter; stamens reddish, 

 bronze, crimson at the ' 

 base; foliage 15 inches 

 across, dentated, of a 

 glossy dark bronzy-red, 

 resembling in color the 

 foliage of Black Beauty 

 Canna. $3.00 each.
