Hardy Water Lilies 
We offer here a very complete list of these lilies. All 
our plants are well started and growing in pots all ready 
to transplant without check or setback. The plants 
listed under this heading are all of the hardy type, but 
except for one or two kinds they must be given protection 
in winter. All hardy lilies are day bloomers, opening 
early in the morning and closing every afternoon. Most 
kinds open four and five days in succession and after 
getting well established should have several blooms 
each day.

carmine suffused with garnet red, and bright orange 
center that contrasts beautifully. Very large flowers
