blooms, the leaves are mottled at- 
tractively and add color to the pool.

Glorioso. The name fits this lily well 
as it is the most glorious red water 
lily. The flower is sweet-scented, per- 
fect formed, reopens daily for five or 
six days which makes it ideal for a

the early part of the season to late 
fall and will often produce 150 
blooms a season. No water garden 
is complete without this beauty.

TROPICAL WATERLILIES 
In the tropical waterlilies you find 
the shades of blue. These lilies can be 
used only one season while the hardy 
lilies may be used for years, but their 
brilliant beauty makes up for this loss. 
We offer here only one variety, the 
August Koch, which we think to be 
the finest day blooming tropical of a 
beautiful lilac or violet shade. It is a 
beauty and the price on strong plants 
is $2.50 each. 
We can furnish other tropicals if you 
want them.
