HARDY WATER LILIES (continued) 
RED MARLIAC. The bright red blossoms 
are borne in bountiful profusion. It is a most 
attractive flower with crepe-like petals that 
are greatly admired. It does so well and 
flowers so freely that it deserves a prominent 
place in your pool. In large pools where 2 
or 3 crowns are planted together they will 
give an astonishing display. $2.00. 
Attraction. This, I think, is a very fine Red 
Lily. The color is a deep crimson-red particu¬ 
larly pronounced after the Lily is established. 
The four sepals are much lighter in color. The 
flower has a stiff stem and stands well above 
the water. It is a healthy, hardy plant and 
when given any attention bears enormous 
flowers. I have counted 40 open in a box 
of them. To appreciate it in its glory give it 
plenty of rich soil. $2.00. 
Vesuve. A very beautiful dark Red Lily, 
producing an incredible number of glorious, 
full petalled flowers. Splendid. $2.50. 
Sultan. Large red flowers with the outer 
petals of lighter rose. Blooms freely through¬ 
out the summer, the flowers standing well above the water in a con¬ 
spicuous way. Easy to grow. $2.50. 
Meteor. A great Lily. Deep fiery red flowers. $2.50. 
★ RED LAYDEKER. This heavy blooming, dwarf, deep Red Lily should 
be in every pool. A stunning flower and a great bloomer. $1.50. 
James Hudson. Rosy crimson blossoms. A very rare European 
variety. $3.00. 
Newton. There is no other Lily just like Newton. The flower opens 
flat with pointed petals so that it looks a great deal like a tropical 
Lily. The color is light red with pink sepals. It has a thick heavy 
root, blooming late into fall. $2.00. 
WHITE 
GONNERE. A magnificent pure White Lily illustrated on the front 
cover. Each blossom is a dazzling, snowy globe for it is much more 
double than other varieties containing from 60 to 80 petals. There is 
no flaw in its snowy whiteness and the blossoms last the longest of 
any. Years ago I brought this plant from Europe. It is one of my 
most popular varieties, being very hardy and flowering freely. $000

Marliac Pink. Beautiful, pale, shell pink 
buds, handsome as they unfold. The blossoms 
are quite large, paler than the buds and

early in the spring and flowers abundantly all 
through the summer. It is splendid as a cut 
bloom and is very popular with beginners 
for it grows so easily. $1.00.

flowers. Does fine in small pools, taking hold 
quickly and growing rapidly. It is one of the rarer Lilies we introduced 
from France. $1.00.

Lily. It is an especial beauty with big rose-pink blossoms. You will

and large. In the sunshine the blossoms seem to glow with color. If

dazzling color. $2.50. 
★ VENUSTA. One of the most fragrant of Lilies. The blossoms have

fusely. I have counted over 75 open flowers on a single box. If you

add corner and repay you with its delicate tea rose fragrance. $1.00.
