LIST OF HARDY WATER LILIES (Continued) 
James Brydon. A gorgeous vivid, rosy carmine blossom full petalled and large. 
In the sunshine the blossoms seem to glow with color. If you have a box in your 
pool where it can have room you can not plant a more satisfactory variety. It is 
one of my first choices for dazzling color. $2.50. 
if VENUSTA. One of the most fragrant of lilies. The blossoms have a smooth 
depth of color that you must see to appreciate, a brilliant begonia rose of sur¬ 
passing beauty. The plant is extremely hardy. $2. 
if PINK BUTTERFLY. Like lazy pink butterflies floating in the air this charming 
miniature lily spangles the water with its jewel-like flowers. The tiny blossoms are 
2 inches in diameter, perfect replicas of their larger neighbors in every minute detail. 
Best of all it blooms profusely. I have counted over 75 open flowers on a single 
box. If you saw it you could not resist its charm. It will get along fine in any odd 
corner and repay you with its delicate tea rose fragrance. $1.50. 
Carmine Butterfly. A miniature lily with bright carmine-rose flowers and a frag¬ 
rance of tea roses. When it becomes established it blooms exceedingly freely; its 
cheerful flowers being in evidence all summer long. The flowers are 4 inches across 
and prettily cup-shaped. $1.50. 
Masaniello. This pink flowered lily grows vigorously and has large apple-green 
leaves. The flowers have strong stems carried above the water. $1. 
Morning Glory. An exquisite, soft shell-pink lily, very beautiful, particularly the 
delicate buds, as they open in the morning. Five to six inch blossoms are borne 
in abundance all summer long. $2.50. 
Mrs. Richmond. Illustrated and more fully described on page 7. $5. 
if SPLENDIDA. Turn to rear cover for a colored picture. Rich, geranium-pink; 
the center of the flowers fairly pulsates with color. A plant of this lily in your pool 
will blaze with brightness all summer. In the fall when the nights become cooler 
the petals deepen to a rich red-pink, most attractive. The big round flowers are not 
easily forgotten. It will flower and flower until you wonder where the buds all 
come from. Does not grow too large even for a small pool. I can fully recommend 
this lily to beginners as just the thing to put color in the pool. $1.50. 
Carisbrooki. This is a lily we introduced some 40 years ago, lost and recently 
found in England. A very starry blossom deliciously fragrant, blush-pink. $1. 
Pink Opal. A pretty, very deep pink and quite fragrant lily. The buds are almost 
round, the petals curved and when opening spread to a cup shape. $1.25. 
Rose Arey. A big flower, deep cerise pink in color and deliciously fragrant. The 
flower has a very starry form and may reach 8 inches across with long pointed 
petals. You will be most enthusiastic when the first blossom opens for you. It is 
very hardy and grows readily. $1.50. 
Wilfon Gonnere. Very double, pink flowers similar to Gonnere. The blossoms 
open into a tight ball of tender pink petals like a pompon. $3. 
Eugenia de Land. A charming sweet scented lily which becomes very large. 
The long pointed petals are deeper pink toward the base; the tips being a tender 
blush which gives the flower a most attractive coloration. They float upon the water 
and the spreading petals give them a pleasing starry effect. $1.25. 
Esmeralda. A striking new introduction from Europe, unique in having its flowers 
variegated pink and white in a most unusual manner. The blossoms are often 
7 inches in diameter and are borne in brave profusion. $2. 
Mary Patricia. For a more complete description of this dainty lily turn to page 7. 
if CANDIDISSIMA ROSEA. I have always enjoyed its rich rose colored blossoms. 
In the morning its fresh blooms are open almost with the rising sun. They are 
sweet with the fragrance of ripe fruits and are quite cup-shaped. The blossoms 
retain their color well even in old flowers. The plants do not grow too large and 
respond with generous abundance to any extra care. $ 2 . 
Rene Gerard. This new French hybrid is a heavy bloomer and well able to care 
for itself, being a lusty grower with bronzy red leaves and will quickly fill its 
box with young plants. The flowers become 6 inches across and are dark pink in 
color, almost a red. $2.50. 
Goliath. Goliath is differently shaped from most water lilies, being distinctly 
tulip formed. From the name you would know that it is a large blossom. Turn to 
page 4 for full description. $2. 
Jules Jaquier. Turn to page 6 for complete description and illustration of this fine 
lily. A huge, stately blossom. $5. 
Margaret Laplace. Illustrated and fully described on page 6 . $5. 
Colossea. An exquisite, blush-pink lily fully described and illustrated on page 6 . 
Gloire-de-Temple-sur-Lot. Big, fully double, blush-pink blossoms with twilled 
petals like a chrysanthemum. One of the most beautiful of all lilies. $3. 
Marliac Rose. Deep pink flowers opening early in the morning. The fragrant, 
waxy blossoms are quite cup-shaped. Very pretty and quite free blooming. $1.50. 
Tuberosa rubra. Deepest cerise-pink, starry flowers with a rich fragrance of 
ripe fruits. $2. 
Odalisque. An intensely fragrant, deep cerise-pink flower of the Odorata group 
It will greet you in the morning before the other flowers are awake. $1.50. 
Rose Magnolia. A beautiful shade of soft pink. $1. 
if NEPTUNE. On a patch of Neptune five feet square I counted 34 open flowers! 
This was not at all unusual and the same box bloomed in like manner for many 
months. This rare variety has beautiful pink petals flushed with darker red at the 
base, giving it a truly attractive appearance. If you want something really worth 
while, let me recommend this fine lily. It does not seem possible for a plant to bear 
more flowers than this one does. $2.50. 
YELLOW 
Marliac Yellow. (Chromatella.) I have always thought this one of the most 
cheerful of Water Lilies. The pert, sunny faces nestling among the green and 
maroon striped pads brighten even a dull day. Like the breast of a canary in 
color with a clustering of chrome yellow stamens leaning over the central cup. 
It will always hold a world of romance for us for it was introduced from Europe 
by the founder of our firm 60 years ago. It has been more widely planted than 
almost any other lily. A vigorous, hardy plant, thriving even in the smallest 
pool. $1.25. 
Yellow Pygmy. A tiny miniature lily bearing bright yellow flowers the size of a 
dollar. A gem for the small water garden and no pool is complete without it. $1. 
if SUNRISE. The Giant Among Hardy Lilies. Illustrated in color on page 9. Like 
a huge yellow sun blazing on an August morning this largest of all hardy lilies, 
reaching almost a foot across, shines in the pool. The flowers are truly graceful 
despite their large size, the pointed petals like softest crepe-de-chine. The color 
is a bright and clear canary yellow. Even young plants bear large blossoms and 
in profusion for it is a steady and persistent bloomer. It seems to grow and bloom 
freely even in small pools while, of course, given more room the blossoms are 
larger. A great lily for the beginner as it is easy to grow and spectacularly beauti¬ 
ful. We introduced it over 40 years ago from France. $2.50. 
Moorei. A new yellow lily from Australia with handsome large blooms. The 
leaves are finely spotted rather than splotched. A very rare plant and a first class 
variety. $2.50. 
Mexicana. A dwarf yellow lily suitable for tubs. 50c. 
YELLOW MARLIAC. 
YELLOW PYGMY.
