SUNBURST COLLECTION—After seeing this trio in bloom you will agree it is most appropriately named. Comanche 
supplies the strong red-orange and coppery tones seen close to the rising sun; Paul Hariot the soft yellow and pink 
shadings of sunrise light shafts, and Helen Fowler the delicate pink suffusion with which these shafts tint distant ** ^ _ 
clouds. These three, in Collection.VJ

Hardy Water LiIie 
Harry lilies are unexcelled for planting in natural ponds, 
lakes or in still pools along a river or stream-bank, and will beautify the most 
unattractive bit of water provided they are not planted in too deep water or 
near a cold inlet. (See page 13.) Once established so that the crowns will not 
be injured by freezing or ice, they become a source of permanent beauty. They 
may be grown in the smallest of pools and in tubs. 
The hybridist has obtained excellent results with Hardy Lilies in developing 
color, quality, size, symmetry, fragrance of flowers, and growing qualities of 
the plants. The flowers embrace all the-colors from purest white, delicate shell- 
pink, deep rose-pink to richest reds, yellows, and combinations of red and 
yellow. There is, however, no blue Hardy Lily. For this color one must go 
to the Tropical Lilies. Another contrast between Tropical and Hardy Lilies 
is that the blooms of the former are borne on stems well above the water, 
whereas those of the hardy lilies float or are raised only slightly. 
Hardy Lilies may be planted any time from the start of growth in the spring 
(about April 1st until the last week of August). It is inadvisable to attempt 
a planting before or after these dates. 
Plant Hardy Lily roots at a slight angle, pressing the butt end deeply into 
the soil with the growing tip covered about an inch. The following varieties, 
both recent introductions and old standard sorts, we consider the best for 
results. We list these varieties by color, rather than by alphabetical arrange¬ 
ment. Our Lilies are Northern grown and therefore exceptionally hardy.
