Pond and Marsh Plants 
There is no feature that will decorate your garden more beautifully than a pool. It involves little trouble or care—there is no hoeing, 
weeding, or watering. 
In small pools Lilies should be set one plant to about every 9 square feet; in large pools, about every 16 to 24 square feet; 2 feet is a satis¬ 
factory depth of water.

RED VARIETIES 
Attraction. The color of this superb variety 
is deep red, tinged with rose, and the sepals 
are white, striped with color of the flower. 
This is easily the largest hardy Water-Lily 
in cultivation, as it will frequently produce 
blooms 8 inches across. $3.50 each.

tinues to flower until late summer, produc¬ 
ing more blooms than any other sort. In 
the spring the flower is colored a deep car¬

lengthens. The blooms are perfect in form, 
and 4 to 6 inches across. $2.50 each. 
YELLOW AND COPPER-BRONZE

are a creamy yellow tinted with rose; this

yellow, with stamens somewhat deeper in

Water-Lily. $1.50 each. 
Paul Harlot. Certainly one of the very best 
varieties, and one of the most beautiful of 
the hardy Water-Lilies. Petals are clear 
yellow, shading to red toward the center of 
the flowers. I2.50 each. 
T ropical W ater-Lilies 
We offer day- and night-blooming varieties. 
There is something fascinating about the 
way the blooms open as others are closing 
and remain open all night or on cloudy days. 
Although they are set out late in the season 
—usually June—they make such remarkable 
growth that within several weeks blossoms 
appear, and they continue in size and num¬ 
bers until heavy frosts destroy the foliage. 
DAY-BLOOMING VARIETIES 
August Koch. Blue with lilac-purple shad¬ 
ing. This is one of the interesting “vivi¬ 
parous” Nymphaeas, in which new plants 
develop from bulblets which grow at the

Produces small, light blue flowers in great 
profusion. The small plants frequently

Mrs. George H. Pring. A new type that 
produces numbers of large, fragrant, white 
flowers with pointed petals. $1.50 each. 
NIGHT-BLOOMING VARIETIES

Water-Lilies has almost been achieved in 
this variety. Probably produces the largest 
flowers of any of the night-blooming 
tropicals. $2 each.

marked by a white stripe through the 
center; stamens orange-red. fi each.
