Lakeview Water Lilies Are Sure To Please 
O NE or more specimens of the Hardy Water Lilies (Genus 
Nymphaea) should be in every pool. Fish and plants belong 
together and each profits by the other’s presence. Lily leaves 
shade the Goldfish on hot Summer days, and the fish in turn recip¬ 
rocate by eating up the bugs as rain (or your hose) washes them 
from the surface of the leaves. Water Lilies will adjust themselves 
to small changes in water level. If their general requirements of 
rich soil, shallow water and sunny location are met, very little atten¬ 
tion will be necessary thereafter. 
The varieties we list here are quite hardy and well adapted for 
pools or ponds. They begin to flower very early in the season. In 
our vicinity blooms begin to appear in April and continue steadily 
until October. All lilies properly tagged when shipped.

and quite attractive.

stamens are light yellow, sepals touched with pink, blooms continu¬ 
ally through the season. Leaves are light green on top, dark red 
underneath while young. Beautifies any pool.

many small flowers, size V//' to 2" diameter. Leaves are small, 
dark green mottled with brown on top, red underneath. A very 
desirable lily for small or large pools.

(long horizontal tuber). Petals are pointed dark pink at base lighter at 
tips. Vigorous, easy to grow and very desirable.

MEXICANA —A hardy lily with a unique method of reproduction by 
runners. It also forms bunches of small bulbs (shaped like tiny 
bananas) which enable it to resist freezing and drying up after a 
season’s growth. We recommend it for its curious habits. It is a 
shy bloomer but will do well in large, shallow lakes or ponds. 
Flowers are light yellow. Leaves dark green with red blotched 
undersurface.

low water lilies that is grown. Canary yellow petals, deep yellow 
stamens and beautiful mottled green and brown leaves. A prolific 
bloomer until frost.

SUNRISE —An enormous and very fine yellow of recent introduc¬ 
tion. As its name suggests, Sunrise is an early bird among the water 
lilies and opens its large Chrysanthemum shaped flowers early in the 
morning. Petals are long, narrow and crinkly, leaves very oval with 
wavy edges colored dark green above and red flecked with dark red 
brown below. This is an aristocrat of Hardies. 
1.50 each. 
ROSE AREY —This photograph taken at “LAKEVIEW” shows the dis¬ 
tinctive pointed petals of this choice dark pink hardy lily. It is a beauty.
