WATER LILIES AND AQUATICS 



Victoria Leaf in Corner of one of four Pools of Water Lilies for which 

 we were awarded the Gold Medal at the Atlantic City Flower and 

 Garden Pageant, September, 1931. 



Victorias, or Royal 

 Water Lilies 



Victoria Cruziana. Leaves not quite as 



large as Regia but deeper cupped and 



somewhat hardier. 

 Victoria Regia. The great Water-Lily of 



the Amazon. 

 Price. Either variety. 3 seeds for $1.50; 



plants, $10.00 each. 



Tropical or Tender 

 Water Lilies 



We make delivery of Tropical or Tender 

 Water Lilies of both the Day and Night 

 Blooming types at the proper planting time 

 which is usually after the first of June, in 

 strong growing plants from pots; they must 

 not be planted until the weather becomes 

 warm and settled. Orders from the warmer 

 Southern States and from the Pacific Coast are 

 filled earlier with tubers. 



Day -Blooming Tender Nymphaeas 



Daubenyana. Small, fragrant, light blue flowers, valuable for 

 winter blooming in aquariums or small pools. $1.00 each. 



Grossherzog Ernst Ludwig. A free-flowering variety of a 

 true violet blue with a golden yellow centre. $2.50 each. 



Mrs. C. W. Ward. Deep rosy pink on long stems. $2.00 each. 



Mrs. Edwards Whitaker. One of the largest flowered vari- 

 eties, the huge open flowers often exceeding 13 inches in di- 

 ameter. Sky blue in color becoming lighter with age. The 

 plant is very accommodating, flowering when dwarfed from lack 

 of room, or exuberantly filling a 15-feet basin. A splendid 

 specimen plant that should be in every pool. $2.50 each. 



Mrs. Geo. H. Pring. Immense snow white flowers freely 

 borne through the entire summer. The young leaves are 

 blotched with brown; the older ones plain green. The best 

 day-blooming white tropical Water Lily, and a good contrast 

 to the colored varieties. $2.50 each.

 the largest size. Upon opening the flowers are almost white, 

 but as they mature, a shade of blue suffuses them. It is very
