HARDY WATER LILIES— continued. 



Group of Nympheea Marliacea. ( Reproduced from, a photograph.) 



NYttPH/EA ALBA. 



This 19 the hardy English, white Water Lily; beautiful, 

 deep green foliage ; flowers pure white ; cup-shaped ; a 

 continuous bloomer from early summer until fall. §1.00 

 each, §10.00 per dozen. 



NYMPH/EA ALBA CANDIDISSiriA. 



The large flowering variety of the English Water Lily ; 

 flowers 6 inches in diameter ; pure white with broad petals ; 

 the earliest flowering variety, and continuous until frost ; 

 a superb variety. §1.00 each, §10.00 per dozen. 



NYHPH/EA LAYDEKERI ROSEA. 



A French hybrid of the N. Pygmsea type. It is one of 

 the best additions to this class of plants, and a gem of the 

 first water. The flowers, on opening, are a delicate pink 

 with a deep golden centre ; next day the petals are many 

 shades deeper, the sepals retaining their whiteness inside ; 

 the outer ray of stamens rich deep yellow, centre ones 

 orange ; the third day the petals assume a deep rose color. 

 It frequently happens that several flowers in different 

 stages of development are to be seen at the same time, 

 which presents a novel feature, as it appears at first sight 

 as if one plant produced different colored flowers. Awarded 

 many certificates ; also Columbian Medal. §2.50 each. 



NYriPH/EA riARLIACEA ALBIDA. 



The finest white Water Lily of the English type. The 

 color is sparkling white. The flowers are fragrant and freely 

 produced. First class in size and beauty: §1.50 each. 



NYriPH/EA riARLIACEA CARNEA. 



Similar to the preceding variety in habit, very robust 

 and free flowering; magnificent flowers of a flesh tint; a 

 delicate blush ; vanilla-scented; charming. $1.50 each. 



NYflPH/EA riARLIACEA CHROriATELLA. 



A charming variety. The general habit of the plant is 

 similar to Nymphsea Candidissiina, and it succeeds admir- 

 ably under the same conditions. The leaves are mottled 

 with brown when in a young state, and its large, fragrant 

 flowers, which are a beautiful clear yellow, with bright 

 orange stamens, are produced from early spring until 

 destroyed by frost. A great acquisition. 50 cts. each, 

 .$5.00 per dozen. 



NYMPH/EA riARLIACEA ROSEA. 



This beautiful variety of French origin, and one of the 

 choicest of hardy pink Lilies, is yet very scarce. The large 

 cup-shaped flowers'with broad petals are freely produced, 

 and very similar to N. ML. Carnea, but a much deeper color, 

 being a soft rose of exquisite tint. §1.50 each. 



NYHPILEA ODORATA. 



The well-known fragrant Pond Lily. Pure white flowers. 

 Is worthy of a place among the choicest varieties. All 

 Nymphieas of this type are useful for naturalization. 20 

 cts. each, §2.00 per dozen. 



NYflPH/EA ODORATA CAROLINIANA. 



This superb variety is the grandest of all the Odorata 

 type, and cannot be too highly recommended. The plant 

 is robust and very free-flowering, continuing until frost sets 

 in. The flowers on well-grown specimen plants are very 

 large, measuring 7 inches in diameter ; the color is of the 

 clearest rosy pink, the faintest tint at the points deepening 

 to the centre of the flower, the golden stamens reflecting a 

 lovely salmon tint, deliciously fragrant. §1.50 each. 



NYriPH/EA ODORATA EXQUISITA. 



This is the deepest colored of all the hardy Nymph;eas, 

 resembling N. Odorata Rosea in habit and growth. Flow- 

 ers larger and of a rich rosy, carmine color, with delicious 

 fragrance ; an exquisite variety. §1.50 each. 



NYHPH/EA ODORATA QIQANTEA. 



This is a superb variety and should be in every collec- 

 tion, similar in all respects to N. Odorata, but the flower is 

 very large and full. 20 cts. each, §2.00 per dozen. 



NYHPH/EA ODORATA HAXiriA. 



A superb new variety, quite distinct from and very much 

 superior to N. Odorata. Its flowers are large, massive and 

 cup-shaped ; the broad petals, of purest snowy white, so 

 numerous that the flower is apparently double ; the sepals 

 vivid green, without the slightest tinge of red. It is a vig- 

 orous free-flowering variety, and unquestionably the best 

 white hardy Nyinphaea of the Odorata type. §1.00 each.
