Hardy Water Lilies 
In establishing our water gardens we spared no time, eHort, nor money in securing not only the best varieties but those 
that would be most suitable for water gardens in most sections of the country. In this list you will find varieties that are 
suitable for every climatic condition, also for the various tastes in color and most any size pocketbook. 
REDS AND CRIMSONS 
GLORIOSA—One of the most popular of reds above 
the average in size and brilliant red in color which 
deepens with age. It is semi-double often measuring 
seven inches across. Does well in a tub garden and 
produces flowers throughout the season under all 
conditions. $1.75. 
CONQUEROR—Flowers are CHERRY RED, deepen- 
ing with age; stamens orange-yellow, sepals almost 
white. Flowers 8 inches across are borne continually 
during the spring and summer. One of the showiest 
reds. $1.50. 
JAMES BRYDON— Vivid, ROSY-CRIMSON. Ideal 
for the small garden, not a heavy leaf-maker. Cup- 
shaped blossoms six inches across. This variety is free 
in bloom, rapid grower. $1.75. 
ESCARBOUCLE—A lovely VERMILLION, with 
garnet stamens—a free-blooming, strong variety, un- 
questionably one of the best. $2.00. 
ATIRACTION—The petals are GARNET-RED, with 
almost white sepals. This beautiful red is my choice 
of all the water lilies. The blossom is unusually large, 
sometimes 8 inches. One of the longest blooming 
hardies. $1.75. 
WM. FALCONER—The deepest red of all lilies. Al- 
most a velvety, balck red. Stamens garnet, leaves 
blotched with green and maroon. Not as free in 
bloom as other reds but the blossoms are surely 
worth waiting for. The first blossom will more than 
repay for the price of investment. $2.25. 
ARETHUSA—Flowers are large with broad petals, 
deep crimson in color with velvety sheen. Sepals are 
lighter. This variety is usually overlooked by our 
customers when ordering by mail but once seen in 
blossom you will surely want to possess it. Some- 
what the shape of James Brydon and almost as deep 
in color as William Falconer. Don’t pass this one up. 
$1.75. 
ROBINSONI—The blossoms float on the water and 
are of a dark orange-red changing and deepening 
in color with age. It attracts instant attention and 
does equally as well in a tub garden or large pool. 
S125; 
SULTAN—Large blossoms, petals shading light to 
deep red. Very free blooming. $2.50. 
LUCIDA—A large flower, long pointed petals of rich 
carmine. Leaves green splotched with maroon. $1.75. 
VESUVE—Rich ruby-red flowers, small foliage growth. 
Very fine. $1.75. 
PICCOLA—This lily has blossoms of a very dark red, 
with mahogany stamens. Large, good bloomer. $1.75. 
NEWTON—One of the new novel lilies. Bright red 
graduating to pale pink. Petals narrow and pointed.
