WATER LILIES AND AQUATICS. 



HARDY WATER LILIES. 



NYMPH/EA ALBA. 



This is the hardy English, Whitewater 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 CANDIDISSIM A. 



The large .flowering variety of the English water lily; flow- 

 ers six inches in diameter; pure white with broad petals ; the 

 earliest flowering variety, and continuous until frost; a superb 

 variety ; one of the best in cultivation. §1.00 each, §10 00 per 

 dozen. 



NYMPH/E LAYDEKERI ROSEA. 



A French hybrid of the N. Pygmaea 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 certifi- 

 cates in America and Europe, also Columbian Medal. §2.50 

 each. 



NYMPH/EA MARLIACEA 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, and altogether very distinct. 

 $1.50 each. 



NYMPH/EA MARLIACEA CARNEA. 



Similar to the preceding variety in habit, very robust and 

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

 blush; vanilla-scented. A charming variety. §1.50 each. 



NYMPH/EA MARLIACEA 

 CHROMATELLA. 



A charming variety. The general habit of the plant is simi- 

 lar to Nymphaea Candidissima, and it succeeds admirably 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. 

 75 cts. each ; §7.50 per doz. 



NYMPH/EA MARLIACEA 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. M. Carnea, but a much deeper color, being a soft 

 rose of exquisite tint. The plant is vigorous. §2 00 each. 



NYMPH/EA ODORATA CAROLINIAN A. 



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, measur- 

 ing seven 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, de- 

 liciously fragrant; a most charming variety. American origin. 

 §1.50 each. 



NYMPH/EA ODORATA. 



The well-known, fragrant pond lily. Its lovely, pure white 

 flowers, so common in some locations, is worthy of a place 

 among the choicest varieties where cultivated. All Nymphseas 

 of this type are useful for naturalization. 20 cts. each; §2.00 

 per doz. 



NYMPH/EA ODORATA EXQUISITA. 



This is the deepest colored of all the hardy Nymphseas, re- 

 sembling N. Odorata Rosea in habit and growth. Flowers larger 

 and of a rich rosy, carmine color, with delicious fragrance ; an 

 exquisite variety. §1.50 each. 



NYMPH/EA ODORATA GIGANTEA. 



This is a superb variety and should be in every collection, sim- 

 ilar in all respects to N. Odorata, but the flower is very large 

 and full. A Southern variety of the N. Odorata type. 20 cts. 

 each ; §2.00 per doz. 



NYMPH/EA ODORATA MAXIMA. 



A superb new variety, quite distinct from and very much 

 superior to the familiar N. Odorata. Its flowers are large, mas- 

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

 so numerous (often numbering over 40), that the flower is ap- 

 parently double ; the sepals vivid green, without the slightest 

 tinge of red. It is a vigorous free-flowering variety, and un- 

 questionably the best white hardy Nymph sea of the Odorata 

 type. §1 00 each.

A pretty little variety of our native pond lily, equally as 

 hardy and fragrant, but the flowers and leaves are much smaller.

 flowers are of large size, cup-shaped ; a lovely deep pink in 

 color; delicious fragrance and free bloomer; a most desirable 

 variety. 75 cts. each ; §7-50 per doz. 



NYMPH/EA ODORATA SULPHUREA. 



One of the very best new water lilies, with large, yellow fra- 

 grant flowers, standing a few inches out of the water. It is 

 very free blooming and has the fragrance of N. Odorata. The 

 leaves are deep green, beautifully mottled with reddish purple 

 or brown spots; a great acquisition. 75 cts. each ; §7.50 per doz.

A little gem, the smallest flowering species in cultivation; 

 leaves green, two to three inches in diameter, flowers pure 

 white, fragrant, and no larger than a half dollar; a native of 

 China and quite hardy. 50 cts. each.
