TROPICAL LILIES 
MARMARATA. A splendid variation of Mrs. Edwards Whit¬ 
aker. The flowers are identical in color, being a beautiful 
lavender-blue, but they are of larger size and are produced 
very freely. The main difference is in the foliage. The at¬ 
tractive green leaves are mottled and streaked with chestnut 
brown, making a striking contrast. $1.75. 
PINK 
♦INDEPENDENCE. The first novelty produced fx-om Inde¬ 
pendence. Viviparous nymphaea of deep pink coloring in¬ 
stead of the regulation blue of that class. It has a gorgeous, 
full petaled flower that opens earlier and closes later than 
any other day-bloomers. The plant is vigorous in growth and 
free-flowering. In fact many of the leaves produce large buds 
and flowers when the tiny leaf plants have scarcely unfolded 
their leaves. (1927) $1.75. 
GENERAL PERSHING. (Pring 1920.) (S. A. F. Silver 
Medal.) This variety was named in honor of our great 
General, but on its own merits has gained wide distinction. 
Without doubt, it is the finest of all pink tender lilies, both 
in size and color. Being a hybrid from Mrs. Whitaker and 
Castaliflora, it has inherited its size from the former but is 
an improvement upon the color of the latter. The dark green 
buds are striped with purple. The flowers are of great sub¬ 
stance, delightfully fragrant, open early in the morning, and 
are indeed most distinct from any of the other pink day 
blooming water lilies. A most prolific bloomer; awarded 
silver medal of the Society of American Florists in 1923. 
(Illustrated in color on page 9.) Strong plants. $2.25. 
MRS. C. W. WARD. A most charming variety with petals of 
rich rose-pink illuminated 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. $1.50. 
CASTALIFLORA. (Pring 1915.) The flowers are very large 
and fragrant and colored a light pink. A day-bloomer of 
moderate growth. (Illustrated in color on page 5.) $1.50. 
♦PATRICIA. A wholly charming and marvelous free-bloom¬ 
ing lily. Beautiful crimson flowers. Buds are copper 
bronze, and the under leaf flecked with red. The Patricia is 
one of the true Independence hybrids in that it bears young 
plants from the center of the leaf. Being unusually prolific 
we are able to offer it at an unusually low price. Of moderate 
gi’owth. It is admirable for tub culture or for use in small 
pools. $2. 
WHITE 
MRS. GEO. H. PRING. (Pring 1922.) (S. A. F. Silver Medal.) 
A new and novel type that produces numbers 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. Will combine with any color. $1.50. 
MARMARATA 
ALICE TRICKER. Prolific bloomer with large clear white 
flowers. Vigorous grower with pleasing green foliage. 
An exceptionally fine new variety. $3.50. 
PURPLE 
JUPITER. Purple Zanzibar. The most popular of the Zan¬ 
zibar lilies. The flowers are a deep blue with purple tints 
and very attractive. This day-blooming African Lily has char¬ 
acteristic bell-shaped flowers and very many stamens that are 
strikingly different from all other water lilies in form and 
fragrance. The plant is very adaptable and thrives whether 
the roots are confined in a small pot or in a large box. A 
superb variety. $1.50. 
♦AUGUST KOCH. As a variety suitable for all general pur¬ 
poses there is none that surpasses August Koch. It be¬ 
longs to the same group as Dauben, Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, 
and Panama-Pacific. We have had this variety continue in 
bloom for four years in our greenhouses. 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. (See 
colored illustration on page 8.) $1.75. 
♦PANAMA-PACIFIC. This variety was produced by the late 
William Tricker. The buds, as they come out of the 
water, are bronzy green spotted with a reddish brown. An 
excellent variety for the conservatory in winter. $2.
