HARDY WATER LILIES (continued) 
Sioux. When Mons. Marliac, the French hybridist named Sioux and 
Comanche, he must have been reading the Leather Stocking Tales of 
James Fenimore Cooper, for the flowers are of such rich Indian colors. 
In Sioux the opening buds are yellow, tinged with copper, but by 
the third day the heart is salmon red, the tips of the petals cream. 
It is a most tenacious bloomer, flowering under the most adverse con¬ 
ditions. Try it and I am sure you will enjoy c 1 rtfl 
its bright sunset hues. s 1 uu 
Orange Butterfly. Charming, orange pink flowers, shading to a fine 
orange red on each succeeding day. A splendid variety for the small 
pool as it is not a large plant. You will like S 1 00 
its charming color..... M 1 
Aurora. After many years of growing this bright Lily, I still would 
feel my pools bare without it. It is charming and well merits its 
name, for like the aurora it scintillates with color. On the first day 
the flowers are a soft, rosy apricot, deepening by the 
third day to almost red. 
Julian Chifflot. My choice for a distinctive Lily. This glorious French 
introduction is exquisitely graceful, the long pointed petals give the 
blossom a novel starry effect. Visitors to our pools exclaim over its 
ethereal beauty. In color it is a warm pink, the inner circlet of petals 
of a deeper hue, the outer paler 
and widely spreading.. 
THE BEST LILIES AT THE LOWEST PRICE 
April 29, 1935. 
Dear Mr. Johnson: 
I want to thank you for the lovely healthy stock 
you have been sending me. You certainly do not 
overstate when you talk about your lilies being 
chock full of vigor. I received Comanche. Blue 
Star, Lotus and other plants and snails. They all 
arrived this morning in excellent shape. Again 
accept my sincere thanks. I feel that my pool 
will be a success, thanks to you. I am look¬ 
ing forward to receiving the tropical lilies 
in their season knowing they will be the 
best that can be gotten. 
Sincerely yours, 
MRS. P. L. SHAINWALD,

RED AND CARMINE SHADES 
ir GLORIOSA. Colored illustration above. Our ponds would lose much 
of their beauty without the fiery carpets of blossoms of this glorious 
Water Lily. Each blossom is a glowing cup of red and floating in a 
placid pool, I can think of no more beautiful effect. It is not exagger¬ 
ating to say that it is one of the freest blooming of all Lilies, in fact 
I have counted 150 open flowers on a 15-foot patch of them. It is the 
first one to bloom after planting, 3 weeks being ol qc 
about the average time required. No pool ^ I 
can be without this. 
Wm. Falconer. The velvety red-black flowers are considered $Q50 
the darkest red of all. Very rare....... O 
Escarboucle. Full description and colored plate on page 12. The 
most brilliant flowered of all red Water Lilies. Beautiful, $000 
vivid red flowers. Very hardy.. 6 
★ CONQUEROR. This favorite with its huge crimson flowers is one 
of the freest blooming lilies I know. A very large, full flowered Lily 
carried on stout stems well above the foliage; it often blooms in less 
than a month after planting out. The flowers are deep red, the outer 
row of petals and sepals being lighter. While the plant is a vigorous 
grower it is quite adaptable and will bloom freely in the smallest pool. 
The 8-inch wide blossoms are borne continuously all spring and sum¬ 
mer, the plant soon sending up several flowers at a time. It is $ 1 50 
a particularly easy plant for the amateur to start with.. 1
