HARDY WATER LILIES 
^^IlERE is indeed a large class of many colors of Hardy Water Lilies. There is every 
known color and every tint or shade to be found among the Hardy Water Lilies. These 
plants grow equally well whether in a pool or in tub, or in a quiet stream. Just a foot of 
water or so over the crown, together with sunshine, is all that is necessary. We have the 
purest Whites, all the various shades of Pinks, the dark Red to a bright Red, Yellow, and 
the Changeable colors. 
If you wish the fragrant, sweet smelling lilies, you should choose those of the Odorata 
type, or those which are described as being fragrant. The Hardy Lilies offered are all day 
bloomers. They open in the early morning and close every afternoon. Each bloom lasts 
several days, and each is the developed full grown plant. The kind we sell should have 
several blooms every day. We recommend those in heavy type.
