DAY BLOOMING WATER LILIES-Cont. 
PURPLE 
♦AUGUST KOCH. As a variety suitable for all general purposes 
there is none that surpasses August Koch. It belongs to the 
same group as Dauben, Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, and Panama-Pacific. 
We have had this variety continue in bloom for four years in our 
greenhouses. 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 at¬ 
tractive. (See colored illustration on page 12.) $2. 
♦PANAMA-PACIFIC. This variety was produced by the late Wil¬ 
liam Tricker. The buds, as they come out of the water, are 
bronzy green spotted with a reddish brown. An excellent variety for 
the conservatory in winter. (See color illustration and further 
description on page 5.) $2.50. 
JUPITER. Purple Zanzibar. The most popular- of the Zanzibar 
lilies. The flowers are a deep blue with purple tints and very 
attractive. This day-blooming African Lily has characteristic bell¬ 
shaped flowers and very many stamens that are strikingly different 
from all other water lilies in form and fragrance. The plant is very 
adaptable and thrives whether the roots are confined in a 
small pot or in a large box. A superb variety. $1.50. 
WILLIAM STONE. This is a particularly at¬ 
tractive violet-purple lily that was originated 
by the late William Tricker. The blos¬ 
soms are star-shaped and open early in 
the morning and do not close until late 
in the afternoon. The flowers are 
carried well above the water. $2.
