flowers are a deep crimson, shaded toward the ends of 
petals to a deep pink. Stamens are long and bright yellow, 
making a striking contrast. This is a continuous bloomer. 
$1.50. 
Robinsonoi. This is an old favorite with water gardeners. 
Flowers are a bright, coppery red with orange stamens. It 
is a constant bloomer with beautiful variegated foliage. 
Special. $1.50. 
Escarboucle. One of the most brilliant red lilies. Bright in- 
tense red, deepening into crimson. One of the hardiest of 
lilies. Also one of the best. $2.00.

the average size. One of the earliest to bloom and con- 
tinues all summer. One of the choicest of them all. $2.00. 
Marliac red. Flowers of a deep carmine red, with cardinal 
stamens. The leaves are a rich bronze, changing to dark 
green with age. $2.00. 
James Bryden. The color is a rich rosy crimson, while the 
reverse of the petals has a silvery sheen. This variety will 
adapt itself to any sized pool. $2.00. 
Attraction. This lily is truly an attraction to any pool. The 
petals are a garnet red, the sepals white and the stamens 
a rich mahogany. Cannot be fully described. $2.00.

Different from most of the red lilies. $2.00.

dish brown. The flowers are huge and dark red. One 
of the lilies which are an addition to the pool, even when 
not blooming. $2.25.

blossoms are a good size and very double. $2.00.

lilies. The leaves are spotted with red; plant a vigorous 
grower. $2.00.
