Tropical Water Lilies by Shades 
Blue 
Col. Lindberg—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 $2.50 
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 separate 
individual plants, and with proper treatment attain a good size. 
The color of the flowers is a very light blue, delicately scented 
and attaining a good size ___....$1.25 
Pennsylvania—-A most beautiful water lily of great merit; the 
flowers are large in size and of a rich azure blue. A free and

is absolutely one of the finest lilies grown $4.00

lar to Mrs. Ed. Whitaker, only larger - $4.00

blue, which becomes paler as the bloom ages. Petals slightly

Pin\

Panama-Pacific—This variety was produced by the late William 
Tricker. It is everblooming, viviparous, strong-growing and 
free-flowering. The buds, as they come out of the water, are 
bronzy green, spotted with a reddish brown, opening rich, 
rosy-red, which is quite pronounced in the full sun. When

stamens are yellow. This is a new and distinct color in Water 
Lilies and it has a marvelous prefume - $2.50

ed. Bright rosy-crimson flowers, very fragrant, and free bloom¬ 
ing, about 40 blossoms per year; multiplies profusely. One of

White 
Mrs. Geo. H. Pring—A new and novel type that produces num¬ 
bers of large, fragrant, white flowers with pointed petals. Very 
attractive among the pinks and blues in a pond and excellent 
when used alone in a formal setting. It is the counterpart of 
the Mrs. Whitaker in pure white. Petals broader at the base 
and more pointed at the tip. Has been known to produce 
13-inch flowers, but like the Whitaker, will also bloom in very 
small quarters. It is unusual that this, the only hybrid white 
lily, should be so superior in every respect to the common 
white Gracilis of Mexico. Will combine with any color __ $2.50 
Wistaria 
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
