Rose and White 
Masaniello (Marliac 1908) —The flowers of this va¬ 
riety are very fragrant and in form are all that 
could be desired of a hardy Lily. The plant is a 
very free grower and needs considerable room. 
The flowers are rose-pink, dotted with carmine, 
the sepals of the flowers are white, making a very 
odd contrast to the color of the petals #1.50 
Somptuosa —This variety of French origin is ex¬ 
ceedingly beautiful and attractive. The flowers 
are good size, very double and fragrant. The 
outer petals are rosy pink, gradually deepening 
toward the center, and highly spotted with a 
deeper shade of color. Deep orange stamens com¬ 
plete the color combination of this excellent va¬ 
riety; quite early -#2.00 
Yellow 
Marliac Chromatella —A free and vigorous grower, 
flowers are bright canary yellow, leaves deep green, 
beautifully blotched with brown -#1.00 
Mexicana —Flowers fragrant, bright yellow, standing 
well above the water. A desirable and unique 
variety for small pools -50c 
Red and White 
Attraction— This lily frequently produces blooms 8 inches across 
under favorable conditions of sunlight and soil. Its beauty of 
color is, however, its proudest boast. The petals are garnet red 
tipped with rose flecked white. Its sepals are almost white with 
faint rose streaks. As the blossom ages, the color becomes a 
rich, deep red with garnet-streaked sepals. Its stamens are of 
a rich mahogany tipped with yellow. No words can justly 
describe the splendor of this variety - -.#3.50 
Conqueror —An exceptional strong growing variety producing ex¬ 
tra large cup-shaped fragrant flowers of a garnet shaded with 
white. Early and free bloomer -$ 2 - 50 
Rene' Gerard— This is the queen of all hardy nymphaeas. You 
will find the flowers are of exceptional size. Sometimes they 
are ten inches across and very distinct in form with numerous 
petals, wide at the base, curling at the edges and tapering to 
waxy points. Their prevailing color is a charming blend of 
deep old rose which is produced by myriads of tiny flecks of 
crimson on a white background. It is a splendid recent intro¬ 
duction from V Etablissments Latour-Marliac, Temple-sur-Lot, 
QQ 
France; one of the aristocrats - 
Rose 
James Brydon-A superb variety, being a free grower with rosy 
crimson flowers 4 to 5 inches in diameter -?2.00 
Marliac Rose— Resembles Marliac Carnea in habit and growth; 
flowers large deep rose color; young leaves purplish red, chang¬ 
ing to a deep green. One of the best for cutting -#L75 
Rose Arey— This water lily is a plant of exceptional merit in ev¬ 
ery respect, attested by it being awarded a silver medal by the 
New York Horticultural Society. The flowers, a deep-cerise 
pink, sometimes reach 8 inches in diameter. The petals are 
pointed and have a noticeable curl that gives the effect of dark¬ 
er shading near the edges. We consider Rose Arey one of the 
best of the Odorata type 
Pygmaea Helvola —A miniature yellow water lily. A very dainty 
and extremely free bloomer. Flowers 1^ to 2 inches across. 
A little gem, suitable for growing in aquariums, tubs, shallow 
pools and is fine for marginal growing -75c 
sunrise— Absolutely the best yellow water lily grown. The flow¬ 
ers are immense, averaging over 10 inches in diameter and 
borne in steady succession from earliest spring till late in fall. 
Beautiful sulphur yellow in color, with an indescribable natural 
grace resembling the tropical night bloomers, and one of the 
most admired lilies in our pools. When well-grown the plant 
is enormous with huge green leaves flushed and mottled ^with 
White 
Alba Candidissima— A vigorous and desirable variety, is an early 
and free bloomer with flowers of good size and pure white 
with fine large deep green foliage - 1 1 - 25 
Gladstoniana— Flowers pure dazzling white, cup-shaped and very 
massive; a robust grower requiring plenty of space to develop. 
One of the best for large pools -^ 1-25 
Gonnere— One of the finest, a ball of snowy whiteness with about 
5 rows of quilled sparkling white petals. Apple green foliage. 
Very sweetly scented and a pride to any garden -#3.50 
Marliac Albida— Large flowers of sparkling whiteness, stamens 
light yellow; a vigorous grower -$ L25 
Tuberosa Richardsoni —Flowers pure white and quite double. No 
variety in our Water Garden is admired more than this im¬ 
mense snowball-like flower, 8 inches in diameter - #L50 
Vera Louise —This has a flower we have long sought; a free- 
blooming white lily comparable in quality to the finest colored 
Marliacs. It was first found in the ponds of Mr. F. T. Wright 
and named for his daughter. Apparently, the Vera Louise is a 
cross between Gladstone and Marliac Rose. It has the broa 
white petals and cup-shaped flowers of the former and the red 
brown sepals with inner flesh tints of the latter. Hardy #- 5
