YELLOW SHADES 
SUNRISE. As the name suggests, it is a glorious yellow that opens 
earliest of all. This is the finest of the yellow flowering hardy lilies. 
Flowers of immense size produced early in the season on established 
plants and is altogether a striking addition to the group of hardy 
water lilies. The buds are olive brown with a salmon flush. The long 
narrow petals stand at various angles, and with their curved sides 
and crinkled tips give the appearance of a giant chrysanthemum. 
The general color is a clear yellow with a touch of fluorescent green, 
the stamens rich lemon chrome. The leaves are almost egg shaped, 
with wavy, crinkled sides, deep green above and red flecked with 
dark red brown below. Unusual in form, beauty and fragrance. $2. 
CHROMATELLA. Clear, rich yellow and a standard variety for 
many years. More Chromatella are sold than any other one 
variety. $1. 
CHANGEABLE SHADES 
This interesting group includes the fascinating copper colored 
varieties, the dainty shades of apricot and orange, and the so-called 
“sunset colors.” 
COMANCHE. Flower opens a rich apricot and then changes later 
to a deep coppery bronze that appears as a glowing red in the 
depths of the flower in contrast with the orange stamens. (See 
description and colored illustration on page 13.) $2. 
PAUL HARIOT. It is difficult to describe the beauty of this mag¬ 
nificent lily. The blooms are quite large, of lasting quality and 
are borne in abundance all season. The petals are clear yellow the 
first day, orange-pink the second day, and this deepens almost to a 
red on the following days. $ 2 . 
One of Our Very Finest Varieties 
C/'NI CAT ARP At first we thought this variety was too much 
* like others of the “sunset colors ” but we have 
found much to recommend it. It opens up a rich cream color, shad¬ 
ing to yellow at the center. Each succeeding day the color deepens 
until the third or fourth day the flower is deep apricot and 
bronze. A moderate grower. $1.50. 
WHITE 
GONNERE. An exceedingly double flower. The petals are snowy 
white and there are so many of them that the flower looks like 
a huge snowball. Foliage light green. A free bloomer. (Illustrated in 
color on page 13.) $2. 
MARLIAC WHITE. A vigorous variety, flowers large, of sparkling 
whiteness ; stamens light yellow, sepals flushed pink; fragrant 
and produced freely and continuously through the season. Desirable 
and handsome. (Illustrated on page 13.) $1. 
GLADSTONE. This is the king of the white lilies. It surpasses all 
the other white Nymphaeas in size and freedom of bloom. It is 
a pure, dazzling white, 6 to 8 inches across, fairly sparkling in 
pure brilliancy. A strong grower. $1.50.

"Well Satisfied with Everything” 
[Right] In sending in this picture of her pool, Mrs. Pfleumer 
wrote as follows: 
“The pool was built with the help of the instructions contained 
in your booklet ‘How to Build a Lily Pool.’ I cannot tell you how 
much we have enjoyed it. Needless to say it has improved and added 
much to the appearance of the yard. Also it has been an unending 
source of interest in watching the many different water plants de¬ 
velop and bloom. 
“The Marliac lily, which in the picture shows four and five blooms 
at one time, has been blooming constantly since the first buds de¬ 
veloped, and has always had many flowers and not just at the time 
of picture-taking. And it is still forming buds. The Parrot Feather 
Grass is another wonderful grower. In fact, we are well satisfied 
with everything and would not do without the pool for anything.” 
Sincerely yours, Mrs. Hans Pfleumer, 1st Ave., RFD 24, New Bruns¬
