TROPICAL WATER LILIES 
Sooner or later every owner of a pool wants to grow a few 
tropical water lilies. Considering their intensive blooming season, 
the quality of their flowers, on strong stems above the water, they 
are really the aristocrats of the lily pool. Young plants have to 
be started in the greenhouse, and should not be planted until the 
middle of May. It is best toset out new plants every year. Order 
early. Prices, according to variety, froih $1.50 up. 
NELUMBIUM NUCIFERA 
The most strikingly beautiful plant in the aquatic field is the 
Lotus or Nelumbium. The large concave leaves, resembling green 
shields, are borne on stout stems high above the water. The flow¬ 
ers are of exquisite rose pink, like giant Tulips, changing to creamy 
tints when fully open. 
The brown seed-pods, which remain long after the flower is 
gone, are very artistic. 
The Nelumbiums are rampant growers and heavy feeders and 
must be supplied with a very rich soil. 
Tubers ready in May, each .$1.75 
HARDY PERENNIALS 
Herbaceous plants are indispensable for filling in and planting 
amongst shrubbery, in the rock gardens, for the old-fashioned per¬ 
ennial border, etc. Most varieties, after once planted, will live 
and bloom without much attention, for many years. Prices are for 
field-grown, potted or transplanted seedling plants. 
Planting Season: 
October to March, as early as possible, whenever the soil 
is in good condition.
