Tropical Nymphaea Daubeniana 
California sunshine and 
the long months of warmth 
make outstanding healthy 
plants and bulbs. 
Tropical Water Lilies 
August Koch —This lily belongs to the same group 
as Dauben, Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, and Panama-Pa¬ 
cific, all being viviparous (by this is meant the 
peculiar characteristic of producing young plants 
upon the surface of the leaf). 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. 
Col. Lindberg —A variety with large sky-blue flow¬ 
ers which are borne on tall graceful stems with 
a beautiful yellow center and blossoms pro¬ 
fusely. Very sweetly scented. 
Daubeniana —This variety is of European origin, 
and is remarkable in that young plants spring 
from the upper surface of the leaves, over the 
point where the leaves join the stem. As the 
plants increase in size the old leaf dies and they 
become separate individual plants, and with 
proper treatment attain a good size. The color 
of the flowers is a very light blue, delicately 
scented and attaining a good size. 
General Pershing —'This variety is the finest and 
largest of all the rose, day blooming tropical 
lilies. The buds are dark green striped with 
purple. The flowers are very large and sweetly 
scented. A very free bloomer. Admired by 
hundreds. 
Marmarata —One of the most admired tropical lilies 
in our garden. We would say the largest flower¬ 
ing variety with beautiful orchid-blue, sweetly 
scented flowers and blooms profusely; very simi¬ 
lar to Mrs. Ed. Whitaker, only larger. 
Mrs. C. W. Ward— A most charming variety with 
petals of rich, pink illumined by a mass of gold¬ 
en stamens. Flowers are borne well out of the 
water, with the profusion of the Gracilis type 
from which' it is a descendant. Very fine.
