TROPICAL LILIES—Continued 
Wm. Stone. This is a particularly attractive violet-blue lily. 
Blossoms star shaped, yellow stamens tipped with blue. 
Special. $1.00. 
Marmorata. A lily similar in size and shape to Mrs. Whitaker, 
but has deeper blue flowers and the leaves are heavier 
blotched with dark red. The blossoms fade with age, but 
keep the blue tinge until blossom is gone. $1.75. 
General Pershing. This lily is undoubtedly the finest of the 
pink day-blooming Tropics. The flowers are 8 inches across 
and are very double. They open very early in the morning 
and stay open until late in the evening. The color is a deep 
orchid pink, with pink stamens. Very fragrant. $2.00. 
Independence. Very large bright pink flowers. Plant begins 
to bloom when very small, and blooms continuously until 
frost comes. Will do well either in tubs or large pool. $1.50. 
Patricia. A charming and free blooming lily. Beautiful crim- 
son flowers, buds copper-red. A small growing lily suitable 
for the tub garden. $1.50. 
The Aristocrats of the Water Garden. Like many young 
maids, these flowers sleep during the day, to bloom gayly at 
night, and during the early faorning hours are the most 
beautiful flower in the garden, often staying open until 
noon. The blossom begins to unfold as the sun goes down 
and is especially satisfactory for the working man or woman, 
who would not see the open blossom of a day blooming lily. 
Shipping time is the same as for Day-bloomers. 
ROSE 
Frank Trelease. A deep rose colored, narrow petaled va- 
riety. One of the hardiest and also one of the best bloom- 
ers. $1.50. 
Mrs. Geo. Hitchcock. This large, rose-pink flower is such 
a wonderful bloomer and so easy to grow it cannot help 
giving satisfaction. A very choice variety. $1.50.

Gentlemen: 
Enclosed please find order for lilies. Last year I ordered 
several lilies and among those sent was one gratis, a plant of the 
Mrs. Geo. Hitchcock and a wonderful plant it was. I take this 
opportunity to thank you for it and the many thrills its bloom 
gave the whole family. 
Yours truly,
