Department. 
We were awarded the grand prize at the St. Louis Exposi- 
tion, 1904, for our display of Water Lilies and Aquatics, which 
was acknowledged by the Jurors who made the award, as well 
as by all visitors, to be the nnest feature in the Horticultural 
Night-blooming 
Tender Nympheas. 
This class is especially desirable for cutting, opening as they 
do soon after sunset and remainiag open until near noon of 
the following day. The flowers open and close 3 or 4 days 
in succession, as do the Hardy Nympheeas. 
Included in the list below are three fine new sorts, viz : 
Bissetii, Dentata Magnifica and Dentata Superba, all of which 
are splendid additions and worthy a place in all collections. 
Bissetii. This grand new hybrid was raised from the 
same seed pod as V.O’ Marana, and is undoubtedly one of the 
finest tender Water Lilies yet introduced. Produces freely 
flowers of the largest size—8 to 10 inches diameter—cup- 
shaped, quite double, of a beautiful glowing rosy - pink, 
borne on stout stems 10 
inches above the water, 
leaves 18 to 24 inches 
across, of a glossy bronze 
red, much crumpled at the 
edge, giving the plant a very 
ornamental appearance. 
Awarded a silver medal 
by the Newport, R. I., 
Horticultural Society and 
honorable mention by the 
Massachusetts Horticultural 
Society, at Boston, Septem- 
ber, 1905. $3.00 each.

vigorous grower; leaves
