Perpetual Dayflowering 
For constant succession of bloom, the Perpetual Dayflowering Lilies are 
unexcelled, and they may be grown in tubs or the largest pools. For specimen 
plants, use boxes 18 to 24 inches square and a foot deep. Submerge 4 to 
(> inches, and allow from 12 to 25 square feet of water-surface. They have a 
delightful fragrance and a wonderful range of color from white through the 
lightest pink to deep pink, and from light blue to deep purple. These va¬ 
rieties of Perpetual Dayflowering Lilies are unsurpassed. 
When to Plant. H ardy Lilies can be planted any time from April through 
August. Perpetual Flowering Lilies should not be set out until about May 20 
in the latitude of New York. Plantings farther south can be made much 
earlier. We ship at any time, on request. 
How to Plant. In natural ponds, the roots of hardy varieties should be 
pressed into the mud so that the growing tip is covered. In artificial pools, 
plant 3 to (i feet apart according to variety. The roots of Hardy Lilies, or the 
plants of the Perpetual Flowering kinds, may be planted directly in the pool bottom or in boxes. Plant Perpetual Flowering 
as you would any plant from a pqt, completely covering the ball of earth. If no soil is put into the pool, the containers may 
be anything from a large flower pot, a plant-tub, or a box a foot square and (> inches deep, to a tub 2 feet in diameter and a 
foot deep. The larger the container, the greater the amount of soil given the plant, therefore larger blooms will be developed. 
W hen choosing the location for the lily-pool remember that exposure to full sunlight means more and bigger flowers.

Perpetual Nightflowering Waterlilies 
Gorgeous brilliant colors demand recognition for the Nightblooming 
Lilies. The term “nightblooming” is a trifle misleading as the flowers are open 
in early morning, close when the sun becomes brilliant, and open again in 
the late afternoon. On cloudy days, or in late summer when the weather is 
cool, they may remain open for 24 hours. The plants may be grown in small 
tubs or pools, retaining the rich coloring of the flowers, although somewhat 
reduced in size. 
The five varieties here listed are representative of the best Nightflowering 
Waterlilies. They are unexcelled in color, freedom of bloom, and in growth.

dish brown; pointed petals. Richly colored. $1.50 each.
