TROPICAL WATER LILIES (Continued) 
^ INDEPENDENCE. Turn to page 13 for full description. A huge, deep pink, 
leaf propagating lily often reaching almost a foot in diameter. Two-year-old 
plants. $2.25. 
Col. Lindberg. An enormous clear blue blossom that will gain your especial 
attention. The flowers, like other Zanzibars, are borne high above the water on 
graceful stems. A very free bloomer even when young. Two-year-old plants. $2.50. 
Panama Pacific. A color plate and full description of this splendid lily will be 
found on page 13. $2.25. 
Mrs. W. R. James. A new deep pink lily raised at Garfield Park, Chicago, by 
August Koch. Bears big, finely shaped blossoms in the greatest profusion all sum¬ 
mer long. You will enjoy it and its sweet perfume. Pot plants. $2.50. 
Royal Zanzibar Lily. This is the true, glorious, original Royal Lily from the 
Island of Zanzibar. It has never been equaled for its deep brilliant blue color. 
One of the freest blooming lilies, it flowers when a tiny pot plant until the frosts 
of autumn. Nothing surpasses it. Pot plants. $2.50. 
Henry Shaw. Clear, campanula blue flowers like the sky on a spring day. It 
produces an astonishing number of beautiful saucer-shaped blossoms with a spicy, 
sweet fragrance. Fine two-year-old plants. $2.25. 
Mrs. Edwards Whitaker. A gigantic blossom often reaching 13 inches across. 
As the photograph to the right shows, the flowers open out flatly like enormous 
Delft blue plates. They are of a peculiarly soft sky blue and are as fragrant as 
Mignonette. It's a great bloomer, too, and a plant that is not easily discouraged. 
I think it one of the best of lilies. Pot plants. $2.50. 
Whitaker Gigantea. Similar to Whitaker but the flowers are larger. Pot plants. $3. 
Marmorata. Large, soft blue flowers that are delightfully fragrant. Blooms most 
freely and steadily with big 12-inch blossoms. The leaves are beautifully mottled. 
Two-year-old plants. $2.50. 
Pink Delight. (Johnson 1934). A fine carmine pink lily that will make your pool 
the envy of the neighborhood. The color is superb. A strong healthy plant bearing 
a profusion of finely formed blossoms. Two-year-old plants. $2.50. 
Blue Beauty. Huge, pale blue flowers 10 to 12 inches across and a steady per¬ 
sistent bloomer until late autumn. You will enjoy it. Pot plants. $2. Two-year-old 
plants. $2.50. 
Pamela. A beautiful, clear, sky blue lily of largest size raised by August Koch. 
The clean turquoise blue is most attractive and the flower is richly fragrant.

IMPORTANT NOTICE 
Tropical Water Lilies should not be planted too early in the spring. We ship 
to Chicago, New York and Portland, Ore., about the first of June or earlier 
depending upon the season. Farther south, St. Louis and Nashville, after May 
20th. To the warm regions of the Pacific Coast and Gulf States as soon as 
the weather permits. Rely upon us to send them at the proper time. If 
requested earlier we assume no responsibility for results. 
"The plants I received from you last spring have done 
just fine. This lily, Mrs. George H. Pring, bloomed the 
next day after planting and has bloomed every day 
since. Took first prize at the County Fair."

■‘The Queens of the Pool collection wintered splendidly in spite 
of our 18 degrees below zero. The lilies I have had from you 
in the last five years outshine anyone’s and their first Question 
is: 'Where did you get them?’ I am surely proud of them.”
