HARDY NYMPH^AS. 



(Continued.) 



Odorata Luciana. An exquisite variety 



of vigorous growth ; leaves green above, 



reddish beneath ; flowers 3 to 5 inches 



across, of a pure rosy pink — not shaded or 



deeper at base of petals, as in N. o. rosea 



— and the self-color is retained throughout 



the season. $1.25 each. 

 Odorata sulphurea. One of the very 



best hybrid Nymphaeas. The greatly 



fragrant flowers are sulphur-yellow, 4 to 5 



inches in diameter, and standing 3 to 4 



inches out of the water; leaves floating, as 



in the type, but blotched reddish on the 



under side ; distinct. 50 cts. each ; §5.00 



per doz. 

 Sulphurea grandiflora. Very similar 



to JV. O. sulphurea. Plant more vigorous, 



with light-colored foliage. 50 cts. each. 

 Pygmaea (syn. tetragond). A gem. The 



smallest species in cultivation ; leaves 



dark green above, with, occasional brown 



blotching, reddish beneath ; flowers white 



with yellow stamens 1-J- to 2£ inches across ; 



very free-flowering, and very useful for 



growing in tubs. 30 cts. each ; $3.00 per 



doz. 

 — Helvola (syn. tetragona Helvola). Similar to the preceding, 



but with sulphur-yellow flowers ; petals more pointed ; leaves 



green, early stage reddish, blotched all over with brown ; 



extremely free-flowering, and well adapted for growing in 



large aquariums or tubs. 30 cts. each ; $3.00 per doz. 

 Robinsoni. The large, floating flowers of this distinct and 



striking variety are difficult to describe, but may be said to 



have a ground color of yellow overlaid with purplish-red, the 



general effect being dark orange-red. The foliage is dark 



green, spotted with chestnut above, dark red on the under 



side. A fine variety and should be in every collection. $1.00 



each. 



Nymph^a Tuberosa Richardsoni. 



Tuberosa {syn. N. reniformis). Distinguished from N. 

 odorata chiefly by the numerous slenderly-attached and spon- 

 taneously separating tubers on the rhizome ; the leaves, which 

 are deep green, frequently stand 8 to 10 inches out of the 

 water when crowded or grown in shallow water ; flowers vary 

 from 4 to 9 inches across, pure white ; petals broad, concave, 

 and produced in moderate quantity. The plant is a robust 

 and luxuriant grower, spreading rapidly, and should not be 

 planted in the same pond with moderate-growing varieties, or 

 they may be crowded out. 20 cts. each ; $2.00 per doz. 



Tuberosa maxima (N. odorata maxima of Gardens). A 

 form with round leaves, the lobes curved out at the apex to a 

 short point, petioles pubescent with long hairs and a few faint 

 brown longitudinal stripes; flowers medium to large, cup- 

 shaped, pure white, with the strong aromatic fragrance of AT. 

 odorata. Very free-flowering. 25 cts. each ; $2-50 per doz. 



Tuberosa rosea. Flowers an exquisite shade of pink, stand- 

 ing above the water ; petals somewhat concave. A vigorous 

 grower, but not so strong as the type, and does not produce 

 tubers on the rhizomes as freely. 75 cts. each ; $7.50 per doz. 



Tuberosa Richardsoni. This variety is less vigorous than 

 N. tuberosa. Flowers pure white and quite double, the 

 stamens being converted into petals which are more or less 

 fluted in the centre. The flowers stand well above the water; 

 the sepals and outer petals drooping, forming a perfect globe. 

 No variety in our Water Garden was admired by visitors more 

 than this. The immense snowball-like flower, 8 inches in 

 diameter, was declared to be the finest white Water Lily of 

 all. (See cut.) 50 cts. each ; $5.00 per doz. 



Nymph^a Robinsoni.
