WATER LILIES AND AQUATICS. 



A CoHNi K itF OUR POND OF NvMPH.EA Makliacha ''reproduced from a p>ho:-»gr,^ph 1. 



Nymphaea Alba. 



This is the hardy English Water Lily ; beautiful deep 

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

 bloomer from early summer until fall. 75 cts. each, $7.50 per 

 dozen. 



Nymphaea Alba Candidissima. 



The large flowering variety of the Eni^lish Water Lily; 

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

 earliest flowering variety, and continuous until frost; a superb 

 variety. 75 cts. each, §7.50 per dozen. 



Nymphaea Laydekeri Rosea. 



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

 Lest 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 ap- 

 pears at first sight as if one plant produced different colored 

 flowers. Awarded many certificates. §2.50 each. 



Nymphaea Marliacea Albida. 



The finest white Water Lily of the English type. The color 

 is sparkling white. The flowers are fragrant and freely pro- 

 duced. First class in size and beauty. $1.00 each. 



Nymphaea 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; charming. §100 each. 



Nymphaea Marliacea Chromatella. 



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

 ilar to Nympheea 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 pro- 

 duced from early spring until destroyed by frost. A great 

 acquisition. 50 cts. each, §5.00 per dozen. 



Nymphaea 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 very freely produced, 

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

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



Nymphaea Odorata. 



The well-lcnown fragrant Pond Lily. Pure white flowers. Is 

 worthy of a place among the choicest varieties. All Nymphseas 

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

 per dozen. 



Nymphaea 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, meas- 

 uring 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. 



Nymphaea Odorata Exquisita. 



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

 sembling N. Odorata Rosea in habit and gro.vth. Flowers 

 larger and of a rich rosy, carmine color, with delicious fra- 

 grance; an exquisite variety. §1.50 each. 



Nymphaea Odorata Gigantea. 



This is a superb varietv and should be in every collection, 

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

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



Nymphaea Odorata Maxima. 



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 vigorous free-flowering 

 variety, and unquestionably the best white hardy Nymphaea of 

 the Odorata type. 75 cts. each. 



Nymphaea Odorata Minor. 



A pretty little variety of our native Pond Lily, equally as 

 hardy and fragrant, but the flowers and leaves are much 

 smaller. (See cnt.) 20 cts. each, §2.00 per dozen. 



Nymphaea Odorata Rosea. 



(The popular Pink Cape Cod TVater Lily.) 



It possesses all the desirable qualities of N. Odorata. The 

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

 color; delicious fragrance and free bloomer; a most desirable 

 variety. 50 cts. each, §5.00 per dozen. 



Nymphaea Odorata Sulphurea. 



One of the very best new Water Lilies, with large, yellow 

 fragrant 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, benutifully mottled with reddish-purple or 

 brown spots ; a great acquisition. 50 tt'^. each, §5.00 per dozen.
