DAY BLOOMING TROPICAL WATER LILIES-Cont. 
BLUE—Cent. 
COL. LINDBERGH (A true blue). This has enormous flo«vers with 
wide petals of deep caerulean shade which surpass all the other 
blue nymphaeas in size, fragrance, color and beauty. As the name 
implies, the flowers tower in the air high above the water. The 
leaves are large and oval and pleasingly marbled with brown on top 
and flaked with purple and brown blotches beneath. We offered Col. 
Lindbergh as our finest contribution for the season of 1929. $2.50. 
HENRY SHAW. (Pring 1922.) This lily is a beautiful campanula- 
blue color and has stamens of lemon-chrome tipped with light 
campanula-blue. It is a moderate grower, a free bloomer, and has 
a delightful fragrance. It is an excellent day blooming variety that 
has been named in honor of the founder of the Missouri Botanical 
Gardens. A beautiful lily. (Illustrated in color on front cover.) $1.50. 
MARMARATA. A splendid variation of Mrs. Edwards Whitaker. 
The flowers are identical in color, being a beautiful lavender- 
blue, but they are of larger size and are produced very freely. The 
main difference is in the foliage. The attractive green leaves are 
mottled and streaked with chestnut brown, making a striking con¬ 
trast. $2. 
CAERULEA. This is the ancient blue “Lotus of the Nile.” Day¬ 
blooming. $1.50. 
CAPENSIS. This lily has flowers of a rich sky blue. It is par¬ 
ticularly popular for cutting. $1.50. 
*MRS. WOODROW WILSON. This lily has lavender-blue flowers of 
large size. It is an extremely satisfactory day-blooming variety 
for medium sized pools. $2. 
*BLUE BIRD. This beautiful lily was named after listening to the 
praise for it made by visitors to our nurseries. Its flower is a 
rare, true blue color that is uniform throughout the petals and 
sepals. It is full-petaled and slightly cup-shaped. You will like this 
exquisite flower. Its pure color will loom up in a delightful display 
above the water. It has distinct class, the character of which you 
would expect in a new and rare creation. A day bloomer. $4. 
*DAUBEN. The best known viviparous lily. It produces small, light 
blue flowers in great profusion during the day. Its small leaf 
plants often bloom while still attached to the parent. Fine for tub 
or aquarium. $1. 
INDEPENDENCE BLUE. Flowers are a very fine shade of 
blue. $1.50. 
WHITE 
MRS. GEO. H. PRING. (Pring 1922.) (S. A. F. Silver Medal.) A new 
and novel type that produces numbers 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. $1.50. 
GRACILIS. This is the white, day-flowering, tender Nymphaea of 
Mexico. The flowers are sweetly scented. $1.50. 
*JANICE. An exquisite pure white flower, bell-shaped, with many 
stamens. This tropical day bloomer is the finest achievement of 
modern nymphaea culture, being the first white lily to bear small 
plants on its leaves as well as being superior to both of the present 
white tropical lilies. The shape of the flower is different from the 
star-shaped Mrs. Pring which was crossed with Independence in 
producing this fine new variety. Janice is a purer white and more 
handsome flower than either of its parents. (1928) $2.
