HARDY PERENNIALS AND ROOTS 
HARDY NYMPHAES OR WATER LILIES 
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 pretentious 
grounds. Where stagnant pools exist it becomes a hygienic necessity to stock same with plants 
and fish, for, when properly balanced with piant and animal life, the water becomes, and will remain, 
pure and sweet, and in place of a mosquito and malaria-breeding pool we have a beautiful and de- 
lightful aquatic garden. 
We have these in white, pink, red and yellow and oner extra fine roots, acclimated to this climate 
at 35c and 50c each. (Cannot ship before the middle of April.)

AGERATUM (Floss Flower). One of the best 
bedding plants, being literally a sheet of bloom 
from early summer till frost. Unlike many bed-

various blue varieties are without doubt the most 
satisfactory bedding plants of this color for our 
climate.
