HARDY WATER LILIES 
In establishing our water gardens we spared no time, effort, nor money in securing not only the best varieties but those that 
would be most suitable for water gardens in most sections of the country. In this list you will find varieties that are suitable for 
every climatic condition, also for the various tastes in color and most any size pocketbook.

REDS AJND CRIMSONS 
GLOKIOSA—One of the most popular of reds 
above the average in size and brilliant red in 
color which deepens with age. It is semi-double 
often measuring seven inches across. Does well 
in a tub garden and produces flowers through¬ 
out the season under all conditions. $1.75. 
PINKS AND ROSE 
POSE AKEY—Awarded the silver medal by the 
New York Horticultural Society. Undoubtedly 
one of the best of the Odorata section. A deep 
cerise-pink, sometimes reaching eight inches in

and very fragrant. $1.25. 
RENE GERARD—An immense, fine red pink 
variety. Flowers eight to nine inches in diame¬ 
ter. A free grower that produces an abundance 
of blossom. Visitors at the gardens were 
amazed one day last season in seeing ten huge 
blossoms open. Center, Front Cover. $2.50. 
WHITES 
YELLOW

egg-shaped, with crinkled sides,

deepening with age; stamens orange-yellow,

are borne continually during the spring and 
summer. One of the showiest reds. $1.75. 
JAMES BRYDON—Vivid, ROSY-CRIMSON. 
Ideal for the small garden, not a heavy leaf- 
maker. Cup-shaped blossoms six inches across. 
This variety is free in bloom, rapid grower. In 
colors on page 4. $2.00. 
ESCARBOUCLE—A lovely VERMILLION, 
with garnet stamens—a free-blooming, strong 
variety, unquestionably one of the best. In 
colors on page 4. $2.00. 
ATTRACTION—The petals are GARNET- 
RED, with almost white sepals. This beautiful 
red is my choice of all the water lilies. The 
blossom is unusually large, sometimes 8 
inches. One of the longest blooming hardies. 
$2.50. 
WM. FALCONER—The deepest red of all lilies. 
Almost a velvety, black red. Stamens garnet, 
leaves blotched with green and maroon. Not as 
free in bloom as other reds but t he blossoms are 
surely worth waiting for. The first blossom will 
more than repay the price of investment. $3.50. 
ARETHUSA—Flowers are large with broad 
petals, deep crimson in color with velvety 
sheen. Sepals are lighter. This variety is usually 
overlooked by our customers when ordering by 
mail but once seen in blossom you will surely 
want to possess it. Somewhat the shape of 
James Brydon and almost as deep in color as 
William Falconer. Don’t pass this one up. 
$ 2 . 00 . 
KOBINSONI—The blossoms float 
on the water and are of a dark 
orange-red changing and deep¬ 
ening in color with age. It attracts 
instant attention and does equally 
as well in a tub garden or large 
pool. $1.75. 
PINK OPAL—An attractive deep pink of me¬ 
dium size, gracefully cup-shaped and fragrant. 
Especially adapted as cut flowers. 75c. 
SPLENDIDA -A fine STRAWBERRY-PINK 
of fine size. The color intensifies to a rich red¬ 
dish-pink the latter part of the season. It has 
bloomed in our pools until they have frozen. A 
new and rare French variety. $1.40. 
EUGENIE de LAND—A very charming, sweet- 
scented lily of the Odorata section. The long 
petals are a deep pink near the base and almost 
white at the tips. Blooms are of good size and 
semi-double. One of the most delicate colors in 
our garden. $1.00. 
AMABILIS—A very desirable variety of recent 
introduction. Flowers are large and starry in 
form, slightly cupped. Deep pink in the center 
which lightens to a silver pink on the tips. 
Canary yellow stamens. One of the best of the 
recent introductions. $3.00. 
SOMPTUOSA—One of the most delicate and 
beautiful of all PINKS. The satiny texture of 
its petals gives one all the color to be desired in 
a water lily. Rather double, above average in 
size. Pictured in colors on Cover. $1.50.
