HARDY DAY BLOOMERS 
N. ESCARBOUCLE: The most striking showy water lily in our collection 
and a strong grower with a long blooming season. The color is a 
brilliant crimson carmine, with orange-yellow center. $2.50 ea. 
N. ROSE AREY: We believe this is the finest hardy pink water lily in the 
world. It was awarded the silver medal by the New York Horticul¬ 
tural Society. Its blossoms are 6 or 8 inches across, standing well out 
of the water. Its color is a brilliant cerise-pink throughout. The edges 
of its narrow petals curve curiously inward, giving it an exceptional 
depth of color and tone. A most prolific bloomer from about May 15 
to September. Developed in our own water gardens by L. Helen 
Fowler. (See Fig. 3, page 7). $1.50 ea. 
NYMPHAEA SPLENDIDA: In color a rich strawberry pink, pleasing 
in form and habit. Planted en masse this variety makes a never to be 
forgotten picture. A French variety. $3.00 ea. 
N. GLORIOSA: A superb variety with deep carmine rose-colored flowers 
4 to 6 inches across. A splendid bloomer, especially to be recom¬ 
mended for tub culture. $2.00 ea.
