it PAUL HARIOT. When the buds of Paul Hariot open the heart is a 
rich apricot, the outer petals yellow. During the second and third 
days the color intensifies to a salmon red. These changeable colors 
are most pleasing and you will surely enjoy them. It is one of our 
most widely sold lilies and one you will find very easy to grow. A 
sturdy plant, not a large grower and perfectly at home in $ 1 25 
even the smallest pool. * 
Solfaterre. Creamy yellow blossoms suffused with salmon, a very 
charming combination. On the second and succeeding days $150 
they become deeply colored. * 
RED AND CARMINE SHADES 
★ GLORIOSA. Colored illustration above and on page 20. Our ponds 
would lose much of their beauty without the fiery carpets of blossoms 
of this glorious water lily. Each blossom is a glowing cup of red and 
floating in a placid pool, I can think of no more beautiful effect. It is 
not exaggerating to say that it is one of the freest blooming of all 
lilies, in fact I have counted 150 open flowers on a 15-foot patch of 
them. It is the first one to bloom after planting, 3 weeks n.QF 
being about the average time required. No pool can be “0 
without this. JL 
Aurora. After many years of growing this bright lily, I still would 
feel my pools bare without it. It is charming and well merits its name, 
for like the aurora it scintillates with color. On the first day the 
flowers are a soft, rosy apricot, deepening by the third day to almost 
red. Often you will see three distinct colors of flowers on the same 
plant. It is quite suited to small pools as it is not a large grower. 
The leaves are prettily spotted with red. When it becomes $100 
established it is a heavy bloomer. * 
Indiana. A fine copper colored lily with yellow and rich $125 
pink tints predominating 
Sioux. When Mons. Marliac, the French hybridist named Sioux and 
Comanche, he must have been reading the Leather Stocking Tales of 
lames Fenimore Cooper, for the flowers are of such rich Indian 
colors. In Sioux the opening buds are yellow, tinged with copper, 
but by the third day the heart is salmon red, the tips of the petals 
cream. It is a most tenacious bloomer, flowering under the most 
adverse conditions. Try it and I am sure you will enjoy $125 
its bright sunset hues. 1 
Chrysanta. Soft rosy red blossoms that deepen with age to Ver¬ 
million red. Plant it in that unfilled corner for it is quite dwarf $ 1 25 
in growth. Grand for tub gardens. * 
Orange Butterfly. Charming, orange pink flowers, shading to a fine 
orange red on each succeeding day. A splendid variety for the 
small pool as it is not a large plant. You will like its charming $125 
color. * 
Wm. Falconer. The velvety red-black flowers are considered $Q50 
the darkest red of all. Very rare. O

f 
if COMANCHE. (Illustrated in color at the right.) I feel 
no hesitancy in recommending Comanche to anyone seeking 
the hardiest and most persistent blooming of lilies. We first 
introduced it from Europe some twenty-five years ago and 
during this time it has held its place with ease. The color 
is a rich glowing amber wtih heart of fire, as the blossoms 
age it becomes vermillion. Beginning to 
bloom early in the spring it is still bloom¬ 
ing when fall frosts sear the pool. It seems 
to thrive equally well in small or large 
pools and you may count upon its being 
in bloom almost from the day it is planted. 
It is very easy to grow and will thrive 
in anything from a tub garden to $ J 50 
lake.
