TO OUR FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS: 
We will not issue a catalogue this Spring, only this list. 
As it does not list everything we grow, we have tried to 
select the best. We have a nice variety but not a large stock 
of Rock plants. Will be glad to quote on your list. 
In using this list we are saving on the cost of expensive 
catalogues and are pricing our plants accordingly so our 
customers will be benefited by it. 
If you saw our exhibit at the Great Lakes Exposition in 
Cleveland, Ohio last year, you will know of the high quality 
of our plants. 
We invite you to come and look over our Plant. 
Very truly yours, 
A. S. BUSKIRK.

Tropical Water Lilies 
Blue, Lavender, Purple, Red, White, and Pink 
ROPICAL water Lilies, or N 3 rmphaeas, have many desir¬ 
able qualities. Although they are set out late in the 
season, usually June, they make such remarkable growth that 
within several weeks blossoms appear, and continue in size 
and numbers until heavy frosts destroy the foliage. As cold 
does not cause them to become dormant, the blooming season 
closes much later than that of the hardy varieties. 
The following varieties are the ones we had growing in 
the pool at Horticultural Garden at Great Lakes Exposition, 
Summer 1936, and was admired by everyone. 
AUGUST KOCH. Blue shaded vith lilac-purple. A vivipar¬ 
ous variety. $1.75 each. 
MRS. A. S. BUSKIRK. The finest of all pink Waterlilies. 
Distinct in color and beauty, and noted for the number of 
blooms. Flowers have 25 or more petals surrounding a 
mass of yellow stamens. Blooms remain open all day and 
often into the late evening. Awarded gold medal at Cleve¬ 
land Flower Show in 1932. Strong plants. $3.00 each. 
GOVERNOR EMERSON. In color the blooms are large blue, 
strong stems that hold huge blooms 8-10" above water. 
One of the freest blooming of large varieties and one of 
the best. Do not fail to include one in your order. $2.50 ea. 
MRS. EDWARDS WHITAKER. Flower’s color a lavender- 
blue when first open, changing to a lighter blue at matur¬ 
ity. Blooms often reach 10 inches in diameter, and open 
almost with the sunrise and do not close vmtil early evening. 
$2.00 each. 
PINK PEARL. Color rich pink. The large blooms, 9 to 12 
inches across, are very beautiful. Free blooming for a 
plant producing such large flowers. $2.00 each. 
ROYAL PURPLE. One of our ovm introductions and the 
darkest of all purple Waterlilies. It is very free flowering, 
with blooms 6 to 8 inches across, and is sure to attract the 
attention of all who see it. Viviparous. $3.00 each. 
Night-blooming Tropical Waterlilies 
The blooms in this class open in the late afternoon and 
remain open practically all night. On cloudy days they may 
open in the forenoon and remain open for 24 hours. Because 
of the night-blooming habit these Waterlilies are distinctly 
novel. The colors are as fine as those of any of the Day- 
bloomers, and the flowers fully as attractive. Every pool 
should have at least one plant of the Night-blooming Trop¬ 
icals. 
EMILY GRANT HUTCHINGS. Cup-shaped blooms, amar¬ 
anth-pink in color. We consider it a desirable night-bloom¬ 
ing variety. $2.00 each. 
MRS. GEORGE C. HITCHCOCK. Originated in the Missouri 
Botanical Gardens about 6 years ago. Blooms are deep 
rose-pink, a most attractive color, and are carried well 
above the water. $2.00 each. 
JUNO (Nsmiphoea dentata superba). A superb white variety, 
probably producing the largest blooms of any of the night¬ 
flowering class. $1.50 each. 
Regular price above collection—$18.25. 
If ordered complete—$16.00. 
DAUBEN. The best known viviparous Lily. Produces small 
blue flowers in great profusion. The small leaf plants 
frequently bloom while still attached to parent plant. Fine
