Pool of MRS. HENRY CAROLUS, Afton, Iowa 
W E HAVE chosen from the many different water lilies what we consider the six best varieties. We have 
ineluded in this list only those lilies of popular priees. These lilies are well known, popular, and will 
give an endless amount of beauty and pleasure. They are easy to grow, well established varieties, good 
bloomers and lilies that have stood the test of time. 
^^OUR SPECIAL COLLECTION NO. 25” 
THE BEST SIX HARDY WATER LILIES, ONE OF EACH, TOTAL VALUE $13.25. WE 
OFFER ONE OF EACH FOR $10.60 
ATTRACTION where the pool is large enough 
we have no hesitation in giving 
this lily the first rank among the reds. It is a recent 
French introduction. On opening it is a garnet red, with 
almost white sepals and stamen of rich mahogany tipped 
with yellow. It is not only the largest lily in cultiva¬ 
tion, often eight to ten inches across, but is one of the 
most beautiful. No pool of any size is complete without it. 
Price, $3.50 each. 
MARLIAC CHROMATELLA 
Flowers yellow, 4 to 6 inches. Leaves green mottled with 
brown. A free bloomer. We consider this the finest of 
the Marliacs. This plant should be divided every few 
years. A charming canary yellow flower with bright yel¬ 
low stamen. See illustration, pages 5 and 8. 
Price, $1.50 each. 
ROSE AREY We consider this the most de¬ 
sirable of any of the fragrant 
lilies. No collection is complete without this flower. It has 
a brilliant pink color. The petals are pointed and incurved. 
It has golden yellow stamen. One of the very best bloom¬ 
ers, producing very large flowers often 7 or 8 inches in 
diameter. It is by far the finest of the cheaper pinks. 
See color illustration, page 8. Price, $1.75 each. 
EUGENIA DE LAND An Odorata type. Flowers are 
extra large with long and lanceolate petals. A very 
beautiful color of deep rose pink of iridescent hue. Yellow 
stamen. Flowers float on the water. A very vigorous and 
free flowering variety. A very desirable plant. It was 
awarded the silver medal by the Newport Horticultural 
Society. Price, $1.50 each. 
PAUL HARIOT A free bloomer; light yellow, 
delicately shaded copper red. 
Flowers are large and cup-shaped. A free bloomer. 
Price, $2.00 each. 
ESCARBOUCLE 
This is the most brilliant of 
all of the reds. It is a bright, 
intense red, a vermilion with garnet stamen. A strong 
grower and a free bloomer. It is unquestionably one of the 
best. To those who have never had this variety it will 
prove a rare treat. See illustration, page 16. Price, $3.00. 
These are unquestionably the two best pinks, the two best reds, the best yellow, and the best changeable.
