MARLIAC ROSE. It is sometimes difficult 
to select the best among so many 
pink lilies, but the Marliac Rose is distinctive and well worth 
while. The sepals and the flower’s center are a deep pink 
which shades imperceptibly to a delicate rose at the petal 
tips. This is one of the best lilies for cutting. Large, fragrant 
and lasting. It is highly pleasing. (See color illustration on 
page 17.) $1.50. 
MASANIELLO. Some years ago we introduced this splendid French 
Hybrid but all too soon our stock was sold out. Lately it has 
received much attention and we are again offering this fine variety. 
Its cup-shaped flowers are pink dotted with carmine and have a most 
pleasing fragrance. A free bloomer and very desirable. Special in¬ 
deed at $1.75. 
FIRE CREST. Another recent American variety. Flowers are 
very fragrant. Upon opening, the petals are a deep pink 
and the flower opens wide, leaving the stamens standing 
quite erect. The tips of the stamens are colored fire-red, thus 
giving the flower a very unique appearance. $1.50. 
Very Special 
PINK OPAL. A new variety that 
has excellence of flower and 
superior habit that determines the 
favorite. In color, it is a deep, rich pink. The buds are al¬ 
most round and open into a flower of interesting form with 
comparatively short petals carried above the water. Valuable 
for cutting. Pink Opal does /NfN 
splendidly in tubs. J) I .V/V/ 
YELLOW SHADES 
SUNRISE. The finest of the yellow flowering hardy lilies. A glor¬ 
ious yellow that opens earliest of all. Buds are olive brown with 
salmon flush. Long, narrow petals with curved sides and crinkled 
tips give the appearance of giant chrysanthemums. Flower is clear 
yellow with a touch of fluorescent green, the stamens rich lemon 
chrome. Unusual in form, beauty and fragrance. (See color illustra¬ 
tion on page 12.) $2.25. 
CHROMATELLA. Clear, rich yellow and a standard variety for 
many years. More Chromatella are sold than any other one 
variety. $1.25. 
PINK OPAL 
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 de¬ 
scription 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 
FATARF A* we thought this variety was too much 
1 *'*' 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.

ONE WAY TO MAKE YOUR POOL BEAUTIFUL 
“May I thank you for suggesting your special pool paint to us ? 
The effect of the Yellow Sedums and Balcony Petunias trailing 
down over that delightful shade of blue was charming. It also 
made the water seem much clearer. For the first time we felt that 
our pool did not resemble a misplaced bathtub.” Yours very sin¬ 
cerely, Edith Van Buskirk, Wyckoff, N.J.
