Tropical Water Lilies 
August Koch—This lily belongs to the same group as Dauben, 
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, and Panama-Pacific, all being vivipar¬ 
ous (by this is meant the peculiar characteristic of producing 
young plants upon the surface of the leaf). The flowers are 
7 to 8 inches in diameter and open for four to six days. The 
sepals are purplish lilac and the petals pale wistaria-violet. 
(Ridgeway color chart). Foliage strong and attractive _ $2.00 
Col. Lindbergh—A variety with large sky-blue flowers which are 
borne on tall graceful stems with a beautiful yellow center and 
blossoms profusely. Very sweetly scented _ _ $2 .00 
Daubeniana—This variety is of European origin, and is remark¬ 
able in that young plants spring from the upper surface of the 
leaves, over the point where the leaves join the stem. As the 
plants increase in size the old leaf dies and they become sep¬ 
arate individual plants, and with proper treatment attain a 
good size. The color of the flowers is a very light blue, deli¬ 
cately scented and attaining a good size _ _$1.25 
Tropical FJymphaea General Pershing 
General Pershing—This variety is the finest and 
largest of all the rose, day blooming tropical lilies. 
The buds are dark green striped with purple. The 
flowers are very large and sweetly scented. A very 
free bloomer. Admired by hundreds _$2.50 
Marmarata—One of the most admired tropical lilies 
in our garden. We would say the largest flowering 
variety with beautiful orchid-blue, sweetly scented 
flowers and blooms profusely; very similar to Mrs. 
Ed. Whitaker, only larger _ _ _ $4.00 
Mrs. C. W. Ward—A most charming variety with 
petals of rich, pink illumined by a mass of golden 
stamens. Flowers are borne well out of the water, 
with the profusion of the Gracilis type from which 
it is a descendant. Very fine _$1.50 
Mrs. Ed. Whitaker—One of the largest and most 
striking of the day-blooming Tropical Lilies, ob¬ 
tained by crossing Ovalifolia with Castaliflora. The 
blooms are frequently over a foot in diameter and 
are produced in quantity. The color is orchid- 
blue, which becomes paler as the bloom ages. 
Petals slightly rounded at the tips and quite nu¬ 
merous. Good as a cut flower . _$4.00
