LILIES * 
Listed According to Color 
♦Indicates the leaf propagating varieties. All of 
this group have the interesting characteristic of, 
occasionally, producing young plants on the sur¬ 
face of the leaves. Often these plants develop to 
a sufficient extent that they bear small flowers. 
Some of the viviparous varieties are much more 
prolific in this manner than others. 
BLUE 
BLUE BEAUTY (or Pennsylvania). Deep blue 
flowers a foot across and produced very freely. 
The yellow stamens form a pleasing contrast to the 
petals. Sepals marked with purple lines and dots. 
The leaves are slightly speckled with brown above ; 
beneath the ground color is red-purple at the edge, 
shading to pale green centers. Desirable in a small 
pool or tub. Very choice but popularly priced. (See 
colored illustration page 4.) Our best seller. $2. 
MRS. EDWARDS WHITAKER (Pring 1917). (N. 
A. G. Gold Medal). The largest and most strik¬ 
ing of the day-blooming tropical lilies, obtained by 
crossing Ovalifolia with Castalia. The blooms are 
frequently over a foot in diameter and are pro¬ 
duced in quantity. The color is lavender-blue, which 
becomes paler as the bloom ages. Petals slightly 
rounded at the tips and quite numerous. In all our 
exhibitions we have found no nymphaea attracting 
greater admiration than the Whitaker. At its best 
in a large pool, but can be accommodated in closer 
quarters. A bouquet which lasts all summer. $2.50.

PANAMA PACIFIC 
(Above) 
One of the seven most popular 
day bloomers. It is ever-blooming, 
strong growing and free flower¬ 
ing. Flowers are a rich wine color 
when first open, turning later, 
when fully open, to a richer royal 
purple. The yellow stamens con¬ 
trast strikingly with the purple 
petals, creating a new and distinct 
color in water lilies. $2.50. 
GENERAL PERSHING

Without doubt, it is the finest

lilies, both in size and color. In

is indeed gorgeous, with its petals 
of warm bright pink. The flowers 
are of great substance, delight¬ 
fully fragrant. A most prolific 
bloomer. (Now offered at a new 
low price.) $3.
