TROPICAL WATER LILIES 
Sooner or later every owner of a pool wants to grow a few 
tropical water lilies. Considering their intensive blooming 
season, the quality of their flowers, on strong stems above 
the water, they are really the aristocrats of the lily pool. 
Young plants have to be started in the greenhouse, and 
should not be planted until the middle of May. It is best to 
set out new plants every year. Order early. Prices, accord¬ 
ing to variety, from $1.50 up. 
NELUMBIUM NUCIFERA 
The most strikingly beautiful plant in the aquatic field is 
the Lotus or Nelumbium. The large concave leaves, resem¬ 
bling green shields, are borne on r tout stems high above the 
water. The flowers are of exquisite rose pink, like giant 
Tulips, changing to creamy tints when fully open,. 
The brown seed-pods, which remain long after the flower 
is gone, are very artistic. 
The Nelumbiums are rampant growers and heavy feeders 
and must be supplied with a very rich soil. 
Tubers ready in May . $2.00 each 
IRIS 
Iris germanica, commonly called German Iris, Flag-Lilies or 
Fleur de Lis, are 'amongst the most desireable and easiest 
grown of our spring flowering plants. The flowers fairly out¬ 
rival the orchids in delicacy of structure and wide range of 
coloring. They are particularly adapted to our California cli¬ 
mate, if planted in a well-drained sunny location, requiring 
very little water during the summer. Avoid planting too deep 
and fresh manure. 
Planting Season: 
September-November, or later, if the ground is not too wet. 
Price for strong divisions: 20 cents each, $2.00 per doz.
