very massive; a robust grower requiring 
plenty of space to develop. One of the best for large pools. 
Price, $1.50. 
ROSE AREY The flowers, a deep cerise pink, sometimes reach 8 
inches in diameter. The petals are pointed and have 
a noticeable curl that gives the effect of darker shading near the 
edges. We consider Rose Arey one of the best of the Odorata type.

flowers are bright canary yel¬ 
low; leaves deep green, beautifully blotched with brown. Price, $1.50.

combination of orange and amber red. Early and late flowering.

rosy-crimson flowers 4 to 5 inches in diameter.

MASANIELLO The flowers of this variety are very fragrant and 
in form are all that could be desired of a hardy 
lily. The flowers are rose-pink, dotted with carmine; the sepals 
of the flowers are white, making a very odd contrast to the color 
of the petals. Price, $2.50. 
PAUL HARIOT Producing flowers of large size. Upon opening 
the first day the flowers are a clear canary 
yellow, the second day they are shaded with pink at the base of 
the petals and on the third day this pink suffuses the whole flower. 
Thus it presents the appearance of three different flowers.

TROPICAL WATER LILIES 
These tropical Water Lilies are of dazzling color and delightful 
fragrance. The size of the bloom depends on the room given the 
plant and the warmth of the summer. They are very prolific and 
produce an abundance of handsome flowers and pads throughout the 
season. 
PANAMA-PACIFIC It is everblooming, viviparous, strong¬ 
growing and free-flowering. The buds, as 
they come out of the water, are bronzy green, spotted with a red¬ 
dish brown, opening rich, rosy, red, which is quite pronounced in 
the full sun. When fully opened, the predominant color is reddish 
purple and the stamens are yellow. This is a new and distinct 
color in Water Lilies. Price, $1.50.

free and continuous flowering. Each, $1.50.

of a very bright rosy crimson ; an
