HARDY WATER LILIES.Concluded 
WHITE 
GONNERE. An exceedingly double flower¬ 
ing white hardy lily. The petals are 
snowy white and so numerous in number 
that the flower resembles a huge snowball. 
The light green color of the foliage is a 
bit unusual in water lilies. On estab¬ 
lished plants it is a very free bloomer. 
(Illustrated in color on page 13). $2.25. 
MARLIAC WHITE. One of the old stand¬ 
ard varieties of hardy water lilies in 
the Marliac type. Flowers are of a spark¬ 
ling white, stamens light yellow, sepals 
flushed with pink, fragrant, free and con¬ 
tinuously blooming and of moderate 
growth. (Illustrated in color on page 17). 
$ 1 . 00 . 
GLADSTONE. Truly the king of the white 
lilies because of its great size and 
dazzling whiteness. Flower opens up to 8 
inches across, sparkling in its pure bril¬ 
liancy. A strong grower but until well 
established not as free blooming as either 
of the other white varieties listed above. 
$1.50. 
RED AND VERMILLION 
GLORIOSA. This variety heads the list of 
red, hardy lilies because of its depend¬ 
ability and great attractiveness. It blooms 
early even on newly set out plants and con¬ 
tinues late in the season. It is really a re¬ 
markable red in color. Flowers are often 6-7 
inches across, perfect in form and quite double. 
Its perfume is similar to that of apple blos¬ 
soms. (Illustrated in color on page 17). $2.25. 
ATTRACTION. Larger in size and much 
deeper in color than Gloriosa. The petals 
are garnet red. The sepals are almost white 
with streaks of faint rose but as the flower 
ages the color becomes a rich, deep red with 
garnet streaked sepals. Stamens are rich ma¬ 
hogany tipped with yellow. One of the largest 
flowering hardy water lilies. $2.50. 
JAMES BRYDON. Here indeed we have a su¬ 
perb variety most difficult to describe. It is 
exceedingly free blooming and produces flowers 
amaranth rose in color 4-5 inches in diameter. 
A most desirable variety. $2.50. 
ESCARBOUCLE. The flowers being a uni¬ 
form Vermillion red in color stand out in 
any group of lilies as a most striking variety. 
A free bloomer and meritorious variety al¬ 
though it is still quite scarce. $2.50. 
CONQUEROR. This variety is very similar in 
form and character to Attraction except 
that the sepals are quite white making a pro¬ 
nounced contrast with the bright garnet red 
petals which are several shades lighter than 
Attraction. $2.00.

VIGOROUS-GROWING HARDY LILIES for Natural Ponds 
These are the strong, free-growing, spreading varieties that are so splendid for 
ponds. Varieties listed have luxuriant foliage and beautiful flowers. All are extra 
hardy and especially adapted for naturalizing. The great leaf spread provides shade 
and the plants afford protection for the young fish from their natural enemies. Pools 
used for growing game fishes should by all means be planted with these lilies. 
CULTURAL NOTE: Lilies can be planted at the edge of the pond in shallow water 
for they will naturally spread out into the deeper water. Note the very low prices. 
ROSE MAGNOLIA. Flowers of an exquisite shade of pink. 4 to 5 inches across, 
standing well out of the water. 
$1.00 each; $10.00 per doz.; $60 per 100. 
W. B. SHAW. Flowers large, of rich rose-pink and very fragrant. Strong grower and 
continuous bloomer of N. Odorata type.

LOOSE. A beautiful, large white lily, 5 to 7 inches across, with a delightful frag¬ 
rance. Especially desirable because of its freedom and continuance of blooming.

quires deeper water than usual and more room to spread than any other lily. It

very large and pure white in color. Fine for bold contrast.
