Ten of the Best Water Lilies « 
In the many years we have been growing water lilies, we are often asked 
which are the best varieties and from the standpoint of hardiness, abundance 
of bloom, color and so forth, we have decided that the following varieties are 
our choice: 
ATTRACTION —This beautiful red variety is my choice of all 
the water lilies. The petals are garnet red tipped with rose, 
the septals are almost white, and as the blossom ages it be¬ 
comes a rich deep red with garnet streaked septals. The 
blossom is unusually large reaching eight inches in diameter. 
It is vgiorous, thrifty and a very free bloomer. One of the first 
to bloom in our gardens in the spring and the last to stop 
blooming in the fall. Dr. R. B. Seagfrid of East Syracuse, New 
York, says that five weeks after planting his Attraction had 
six large buds above the water ready to bloom. $3.50. 
ESCARBOUCLE —Bright, intense red deepening to crimson with 
garnet stamens. A free blooming, strong, vigorous variety, 
unquestionably one of the best. Pictured in colors on front 
cover. My second choice of the reds does not take much room 
and in mid-season our pond of this variety is almost a mass of 
fire. $3.00. 
JAMES BRYDON —This variety is very free in bloom and a rapid 
grower. Flowers measuring from five to six inches across, 
broad petals, concave and incurving, giving the flower a cup 
shape. The color is a vivid rosy crimson deepening with age. 
Has small bronze red leaves. Pictured in colors on front cover. 
My first James Brydon was found in a large area of the wild 
Odorata. I grew it several years before I was positive of the 
variety. It is one of our earliest bloomers and stays on well 
into the end of the season. Not a heavy leaf maker which 
makes it ideal for a small garden. $3.00. 
CONQUEROR —Flowers are a cherry red deepening with age. 
Stamens orange yellow, septals almost white. Flowers eight 
inches across borne continually during the entire spring and 
summer. One of the showiest of reds. $3.00. 
COMANCHE —One of the hardiest of all water lilies and un¬ 
doubtedly the best of the sunset colors. On opening the first 
day the flowers are orange pink, stamens yellow, deepening 
on succeeding days to a glowing amber red with a heart of 
fire. This variety thrives equally as well under all conditions. 
Do not fail to include this variety in your water gardens. 
Illustrated in color on front cover. This was one of our first 
varieties and we admired it so much that we immediately be¬ 
gan to increase our stock. The blossoms make one of the 
most beautiful bouquets of water lilies and due to the ex¬ 
treme hardiness we still consider it one of the very best. 
$ 2 . 00 . 
SUNRISE —Largest of all hardy water lilies. Blossoms often 
measuring eleven inches across. One of the first lilies to open 
in the morning. A free bloomer. Color is a clear sulphur yel¬ 
low. Petals are long and narrow. The flowers are carried sev¬ 
eral inches above the water. Leaves are almost egg-shaped 
with crinkled sides, deep green above and red flecked with 
dark brown below. This variety attracts more attention than 
any other in our gardens. Our large pool of this variety created 
no end of comment last season. There was always a crowd 
around the pool. Imagine if you can a large pool almost com¬ 
pletely covered with clear ylphur yellow blossoms, many 
reaching eleven inches in disn^eter. $3.00. 
SPLENDIDA —A f ine strawberry pink of good size. A free 
grower of good form. This variety can always be counted on 
with a blaze of color all summer long. The color intensifies 
to a rich reddish pink the latter part of the season. One of 
the new and rare French varieties. Don’t overlook this one in 
making up your collection. One of the first to begin blooming 
in the spring and the last to stop in the fall. Blossoms came to 
the surface this fall up to the time ice was frozen. $2.50. 
GONNERE —One of the very few double water lilies. This variety 
averages eighty petals to the blossom, being almost a full 
globe. Leaves are small and does not require much room to 
grow but gives an abundance of snowy white flowers re¬ 
sembling huge snowballs. Pictured in color on back cover. 
$3.00. 
SUMPTUOSA —Originated in France and considered by many 
one of the most delicate and beautiful of all pinks. The satiny 
texture of its petals gives one all the color to be desired in a 
pink water lily. Rather double, almost perfect in form and 
above the average in size. Don’t fail to include this one in 
your garden. $3.00. 
PAUL HARIOT —My first plant of this variety was sent me by 
a friend. It is truly a wonder and should be in every garden. 
Nearly all water lily admirers who have not seen Paul Hariot 
and have heard of its reputation ask that this variety be 
pointed out to them when they visit the farm. This variety 
gives more variation of color throughout the season than any 
other. Flowers opening in the spring a clear yellow suffused 
with rose changing to a deep peach on the secend and third 
day and to an orange on the fourth day. As the season pro¬ 
gresses the flowers are almost a deep red on the fourth day. 
It is a sturdy, hardy plant, free in bloom and one which you 
will greatly enjoy. Pictured in colors on front cover. $2.00.
