it CONQUEROR. This favorite with its huge crimson flowers is one of the freest 
blooming lilies I know. A very large, full flowered lily carried on stout stems well 
above the foliage; it often blooms in less than a month after planting out. The 
flowers are crimson, the outer row of petals and sepals being lighter. While the 
plant is a vigorous grower it is quite adaptable and will bloom freely even in the 
smallest pool. The 8 -inch wide blossoms are borne continuously all spring and 
summer, the plant soon sending up several flowers at a time. It is a particularly 
easy plant for the amateur to start with. $ 2 . 
Attraction. This, I think, is a very fine red lily. The color is a deep crimson-rea 
particularly pronounced after the lily is established. The four sepals are much

My choice for a distinctive lily. This glorious French introduction is exquisitely graceful, the long 
pointed petals give the blossom a novel starry effect. Visitors to our pools exclaim over its etheral 
beauty. In color it is a warm pink, the inner circlet of petals of a deeper hue, the outer paler and

stigma is yellow. The smooth pads when unfolding are pleasing olive green, the plant withall
