WATER-LILIES and POND PLANTS 
Hardy Water-Lilies (Nymphaeas) (June 1 shipment) 
For ponds, lakes, or in still pools along a river or stream, provided they are not planted in 
too deep water or near a cold inlet. Once established so that the crowns will not be injured 
by freezing, they become a source of permanent beauty. They may also be grown in tubs.

Tropical Water-Lilies (July 1 shipment) 
These are of two distinct types: the Day bloomers, whose flowers open with the sun 
and close at evening, and the Nightbloomers, whose flowers open in the afternoon and 
remain open until late the following morning. On cloudy days the latter sometimes remain 
open throughout the twenty-four hours. All are most beautif^ul. 
We ship only mature potted plants, many already in flower, which will produce a 
wealth of bloom in a surprisingly short space of time after setting out.
