GLORIOSA. A lily that is correctly named since it is 
so exceedingly glorious that we recommend it as 
the basis of every collection. Let us assure you that 
Gloriosa, without doubt, sets a standard among hardy 
lilies and beautiful flowers. Its blossom is a truly re¬ 
markable red and is often 6 to 7 inches across, per¬ 
fect in form and rather double. Its perfume is simi¬ 
lar to that of apple blossoms. It is thoroughly at home 
in pool or lake, and its characteristic small leaf-spread 
and large blossoms make it an ideal plant for tub 
culture. (Illustrated in color, on page 13. $2.25. 
ATTRACTION. The petals are garnet red tipped with 
rose flecked white. Its sepals are almost white 
with faint rose streaks. As the blossom ages, the color 
becomes a rich, deep red with garnet-streaked sepals. 
Its stamens are of a rich mahogany tipped with yel¬ 
low. Under favorable conditions blooms attain 8 inches 
across. $2.50.

being a free-grower with rosy, crimson flowers 
that are 4 to 5 inches in diameter. $2.50. 
ESCARBOUCLE. A most attractive and meritorious 
variety. The flowers are most striking in color 
being a uniform vermilion-red. A free bloomer and 
a strong grower. Sure to become popular. $2.50. 
CONQUEROR. A most attractive variety which 
blooms prolifically. Petals are bright garnet red 
tipped with rose flecked white. The inside of the

The Lily in the foreground is the White GLADSTONE. This picture 
was sent in by T. E. Holt of Epworth, Ga., who wrote us as follows: 
“Gladstone is in the foreground, the Aurora on the right, the Eugenia on 
the extreme left and the Chromatella on the back side of the pool. We 
also had Saggitaria Sinensis, Arrowhead and Lotus in the back of the pool, 
and a background of Portulaca, Iris and Petunias. We purchased the Glad¬ 
stone and the Aurora from you last spring but already had the others. I 
would like for you to see what success we had with the lilies. It was the 
second season we had ever attempted to raise water lilies but find it a 
fascinating subject.” __

OUR THANKS TO MRS. ROBINSON 
“The fish and collection of lilies and plants came today (June 2nd) and 
every fish was alive and they are sure fine. This is my first order from 
your company but it won’t be the last, and if I can be of any help recom¬ 
mending your water garden plants and gold fish, I don’t want you to hesi¬ 
tate in writing me.” Mrs. C. L. Robinson, Albion, Mich. 
"PLEASURE FOR MANY YEARS" 
“The Double Nelumbium you sent me last year bloomed beautifully this 
spring. I separated it and replanted in two large tubs and it is truly mag¬ 
nificent. The Mrs. Whitaker you sent this year and the Chromatella I got 
from you years ago are lovely. The Pickerel Rush is very pretty, growing 
beside the Rose Lotus. I felt you would like to know that you have given 
us a great deal of pleasure for many years.” Mrs. H. A. Page, Jr., Aber¬ 
deen, N.C. 
"FINE ROOTS WELL PACKED" 
“Due to my not being at home when the expressman came, my order 
of water lilies was two days late in reaching me, so I think you will be 
interested in learning that when the box was opened, everything was in 
as fresh a condition as though just taken from the water. 
“Blue Lily was planted at once in the pool, and I truly believe that it 
never knew it had been transplanted for one bud is beginning to show 
blue and I am anticipating the great pleasure that I have enjoyed before 
in watching the large buds unfold. 
“Many thanks for the extra plants of Water Iris and Hyacinth, and the 
former will be watched with interest as I have never had this plant be¬ 
fore. 
“With sincere appreciation of the fine roots and the care with which 
they were packed. I am, very truly yours.” Mrs. Edward Dugan, Hart¬ 
ford, Conn. _
