Mrs. Ed. Whitaker. This is one of the newer hybrid 
water lilies. It is also a production of Mr. Pring of the 
Missouri Botanical Gardens. It is one of the largest of the 
day bloomers. The flowers are lavender blue on first open- 
ing, getting paler after the flower ages. They often reach 10 
inches in diameter. The leaves are beautifully mottled and 
are streaked with dark red. One of the remarkable features 
of this lily is the fact that it opens as early as 6:30 in the 
morning, and does not close until 7:30 at night. There is no 
other lily that remains open for so long a time.

Dauben. This is a very light, rather small, blue lily. It is

sprout additional lilies from the center of its leaves, and 
these new plants will often send forth bloom while they are 
still attached to the parent plant. Price, $1.50 each.

lily in cultivation. It is extremely free to flower and 
growth, the flowers are from 5 to 8 inches across. Petals

most popular and promising of the day 
bloomers. It is a free bloomer, giving strong healthy plants. 
On first opening the flowers are rich rosy red; when fully 
opened the color is a deep reddish purple with yellow sta- 
mens. This plant also will throw young plants from its 
leaves which will frequently flower while still attached to 
the parent plant. Price, $2.25 each. 
August Koch. Flowers are from 7 to 8 inches in diameter, 
and rise from 8 to 10 inches out of the water. The petals 
are a pale wistaria violet. It is an excellent variety, very

face of the leaves. We recommend this as one of the easiest 
of the tropicals to grow as it requires very little attention.
