PINK PEARL 
See Front Cover for Colored Plate. 
Pennsylvania need not frighten the amateur gardener any more. 
Grow this queen of lilies with perfect success even though you have 
never grown water lilies before. You need not fear them dying or 
going dormant in the spring because the weather turns cold after 
you plant them. No other nurseryman can give you this assurance 
because greenhouse plants are only a few weeks old and may go 
dormant during the cold weather. Have these gorgeous flowers in 
bloom before those of your friends get started. All during the sum¬ 
mer of 1934 these husky plants have been blooming and thousands of 
people have visited our gardens to see them. They are a sight worth 
traveling far to see with their great, deep blue blossoms incredibly 
as large as dinner plates. During the second year the plants often 
split up into several crowns, each one of which blooms just as freely 
as the mother and the blossoms will be just as large. I 
liave counted a dozen flowers on a single two-year plant. $050

A FLOWER WITH CHARACTER. 
This is a new lily raised at Garfield Park, Chicago, by Mr. August 
Koch, who has produced many fine water lilies. We have given it 
a thorough trial here at the nursery where we have several hundred 
planted out under the same conditions you have in your own pool. 
They have done remarkably well and prove to be extremely flori- 
ferous. The flowers are quite large, too, and with their clear, silvery 
pink color and white throat circling the golden stamens are most 
unusual. In fact, the plant has plenty of character and is one you 
will not forget. It has been very popular with our visitors for the 
beautiful, soft pink harmonizes perfectly with the brighter _ 
blues. Try this, it is one we can recommend. Special Two- $950

PLANT IT FOR CONTRAST 
This fine free flowering lily produces innumerable quantities of 
white blossoms that often reach a foot across. The tapering petals 
give it a most attractive, starry effect and when planted among the 
blue and pink of other brilliantly colored Tropicals serves to intensify 
their charms. It has become most popular as it is the only satisfactory 
white Tropical lily. This year we offer it in potted plants at 51.50.

General Pershing is the shining star among pink lilies. It has mam¬ 
moth blossoms raised above the water on stiff stems. They have a 
stately charm about them that brings exclamations of delight. The 
color is a clear, warm pink; the blossoms like a broad basin with 
petals ranged in even rows. The buds are speckled and the leaves 
are mottled with red in a most charming way. Until you grow our 
two-year-old plants you will never know how gorgeous this lily can 
be. No need to fear that it will die out during late cold snaps for 
these plants have the vigor to carry on and flower where 
smaller plants would be checked for weeks. $9

Here is Something Interesting 
Friday, June 2, 1934. 
Gentlemen: 
"Here is something interesting. 
I received my two-year-old Blue 
Triumph last Monday. Planted it 
at once at 6 o'clock A. M. and al¬ 
though the weather has been some¬ 
what cool the Blue Triumph is in 
bloom today, only four days since 
a 2500-mile trip. Some lily! 
Yours truly,

Continuous Blooms 
Gentlemen: June 2, 1934. 
“For some weeks I have been 
wanting to write you in apprecia¬ 
tion of the lilies I received. The 
Sacred Lotus is now coming up and 
the Blue Triumph blossomed just 
12 days after I received it and has 
had continuous bloom since." 
Very respectfully, 
MRS. G. Q. D'ALBINI, 
Medford, Oregon.
