Tropical Water Lilies by Shades 
Purple 
Blue 
Col. Lindberg—A variety with large sky blue flowers which are 
borne on tall graceful stems, with a beautiful yellow center and 
blossoms profusely. Very sweetly scented #2.50 
Daubeniana—This variety is of European origin, and is remark¬ 
able in that young plants spring from the upper surface of the 
leaves, over the point where the leaves join the stem. As the 
plants increase in size the old leaf dies and they become separate 
individual plants, and with proper treatment attain a good size. 
The color of the flowers is a very light blue, delicately scented 
and attaining a good size #1.25 
Pennsylvania—A most beautiful water lily of great merit; the 
flowers are large in size and of a rich azure blue. A free and 
continuous bloomer. One of the best lilies for cutting, and is 
very fragrant. We cannot give enough praise to this lily as it 
is absolutely one of the finest lilies grown #4.00 
Pennsylvania Small Plants—Same as above #2.50 
Zanzibarensis Azurea—Beautiful clear, azure blue flowers stand¬ 
ing well out of the water; very free bloomer and quite hardy; 
exceedingly fragrant and one that you will like #1.75 
Orchid 
Marmarata—One of the most admired lilies in our garden. We 
would say the largest flowering variety with beautiful orchid- 
blue, sweetly scented flowers, and blooms profusely; very simi¬ 
lar to Mrs. Ed. Whitaker, only larger #4.00 
Mrs. Ed. Whitaker—One of the largest and most striking of the 
day-blooming Tropical Lilies, obtained by crossing Ovalifolia 
with Castaliflora. The blooms are frequently over a foot in 
diameter and are produced in quantity. The color is orchid- 
blue, which becomes paler as the bloom ages. Petals slightly 
rounded at the tips and quite numerous #4.00 
Pin\ 
Mrs. C. W. Ward A most charming variety with petals of rich, 
pink illumined by a mass of golden stamens. Flowers are 
borne well out of the water, with the profusion of the Gracilis 
type from which it is a descendant, very fine #1.50 
Zanzibarensis Rosea—A variety that always pleases, a very fine 
pink and attains good size, splendid for cutting, will produce 
easily thirty blossoms, stands well out of the water, exceedingly 
fragrant and a lily of high merit ___#1.50 
Panama-Pacific—This variety was produced by the late William 
Tricker. It is everblooming, viviparous, strong-growing and 
free-flowering. The buds, as they tome out of the water, are 
bronzy green, spotted with a reddish brown, opening rich, 
rosy-red, which is quite pronounced in the full sun. When 
fully opened, the predominant color is reddish purple and the 
stamens are yellow. This is a new and distinct color in Water 
Lilies and it has a marvelous prefume #2.50 
William Stone—Star-shaped purple flowers, 5 to 7 inches in 
diameter, borne on tall stems above the water. The flowers are 
very beautiful and last a long time when cut. The under sur¬ 
face of the leaves is flushed with violet, the margins prettily 
scalloped. One of the freest-bloomers #2.00 
Zanzibarensis Purpurea—One of the best of the day blooming 
varieties. Rich blue-purple flowers produced on long stems. 
A free and continuous bloomer, flowers keep at least three 
days after cutting #2.00 
Rose 
General Pershing—This variety is the finest and largest of all 
the deep rose, day blooming, tropical lilies. The buds are 
dark green, striped with purple. The flowers are very large 
and sweetly scented. A very free bloomer #2.50 
Zanzibarensis Rubra—Plant this variety and you will be delight¬ 
ed. Bright rosy-crimson flowers, very fragrant, and free bloom¬ 
ing, about 40 blossoms per year; multiplies profusely. One of 
the most hardy tropicals #2.00 
White 
Mrs. Geo. H. Pring—A new and novel type that produces num¬ 
bers of large, fragrant, white flowers with pointed petals. Very 
attractive among the pinks and blues in a pond and excellent 
when used alone in a formal setting. It is the counterpart of 
the Mrs. Whitaker in pure white. Petals broader at the base 
and more pointed at the tip. Has been known to produce 
13-inch flowers, but like the Whitaker, will also bloom in very 
small quarters. It is unusual that this, the only hybrid white 
lily, should be so superior in every respect to the common 
white Gracilis of Mexico. Will combine with any color #2.50 
W istaria 
August Koch—This lily belongs to the same group as Dauben, 
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, and Panama-Pacific, all being vivipar¬ 
ous (by this is meant the peculiar characteristic of producing 
young plants upon the surface of the leaf). The flowers are 
7 to 8 inches in diameter and open for four to six days. The 
sepals are purplish lilac and the petals pale wistaria-violet. 
(Ridgeway color chart). Foliage strong and attractive #2.00
