DREER'S WATER LILY LEAFLET gives complete

 Aquatics. Copies free on request. 



Nymphaea, Mrs. Edwards Whitaker 



Victorias, or Royal Water Lilies 



Victoria Cruziana. Leaves not quite so large as Regia but 

 deeper cupped and somewhat hardier. 



Plants, $10.00 each. Seeds, 3 for $1.50. 



Tropical or Tender Water Lilies 



We make delivery of Tropical or Tender Water Lilies of both 

 the Day and Night Blooming types at the proper planting time 

 which is usually after the first of June, in strong growing plants 

 from pots; they must not be planted until the weather becomes 

 warm and settled. Orders from the warmer Southern States and 

 from the Pacific Coast are filled earlier with tubers. 



Day-Blooming Tender Nymphaeas

 winter blooming in aquariums or small pools. $1.00 each.

 true violet blue with a golden yellow center. $2.00 each.

Mrs. Edwards Whitaker. One of the largest flowered vari- 

 eties, the huge open flowers often exceeding 13 inches in di- 

 ameter. Sky blue in color becoming lighter with age. The

 of room, or exuberantly filling a 15-feet basin. A splendid 

 specimen plant that should be in every pool. $2.00 each.
