WATER LILIES 
HARDY NYPHAE 
The Water Garden is an important feature in 
garden and landscape effects. The great diversity 
in size, color and other features among the Water 
Lilies gives the Water Gardening a peculiar fasci- 
nation, interest and charm. 
A Water Garden may be enjoyed in a sunny 
back yard as well as in large gardens or preten- 
tious grounds. Where stagnant pools exist it 
becomes a hygienic necessity to stock same with 
plants and flsh, for, when properly balanced with 
plant and animal life, the water becomes, and will 
remain, pure and sweet, and in place of a mos- 
quito and malaria-breeding pool we have a beau- 
tiful and delightful aquatic garden. 
We have these in white, pink, red and yellow 
and offer extra fine roots, acclimated to this cli- 
mate at 35c and 50c each. (Cannot ship before 
the middle of April). 
GLADIOLUS 
These flowers of enchantment have, within the last few years, attained a popularity that is not 
to be wondered at when one considers the almost unrivalled success that has attended the efforts made 
for improving them both in size and in the variety of colorings, which now range from the daintiest 
pastel shades to the richest and most gorgeous colorings. 
In their stateliness and beauty these wonder flowers are in a class by themselves and the easiness 
of their culture should give them a place in every garden.
