TWO REALLY GREAT 
HARDY LILES 
ROSE AREY 
A Water Lily of thrilling beauty. The blooms, a deep cerise- 
pink, sometimes reach 8 inches in diameter. The petals are 
pointed and have a noticeable curl that gives the effect of 
darker shadings near the edges. We consider Rose Arey one 
of the best of the Odorata type. A delightful surprise awaits 
you. $2.50 each. : 
SUNRISE 
As the name suggests, it is a glorious yellow that opens 
earliest of all. This is the finest of the yellow flowering hardy 
Lilies. Flowers of immense size produced early in the season 
on established plants and is altogether a striking addition to 
the group of hardy Water Lilies. The buds are olive-brown with 
a salmon flush, The long, narrow petals stand at various 
angles, and with their curved sides and crinkled tips give the 
appearance of a giant chrysanthemum. The general color is a 
clear yellow with a touch of fluorescent green, the stamens 
rich lemon-chrome, The leaves are almost egg-shaped, with 
wavy, crinkled sides, deep green above and red flecked with red- 
pat below. Unusual in form, beauty and fragrance. $3.00 
each.

AQUATIC PLANTS 
FOR POOLS AND AQUARIUMS 
Water Hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes major). Shiny dark green 
leaves, the stems of which are expanded into pseudo bulbs, 
which serve as air chambers. The orchid-like flowers of lav- 
ender form a spike like that of the true Hyacinth. Propaga- 
tion is by means of runners at the surface, and the growth 
is so rapid that navigation is hindered in streams in the 
southern states where they grow profusely. It is, perhaps, 
fortunate that the plant is destroyed by frost. The long, 
bushy roots are excellent for receiving the spawn of goldfish; 
therefore, the Water Hyacinth may be used to advantage in 
pools of fair size. 2 for 50c: $2.00 per doz. 
Papyrus or Egyptian Paper Plant (Cyperus papyrus). The stalks 
are triangular and attain a height of 5 to 8 feet. At the top 
is a tuft of long, threadlike leaves which gives the plant a 
most novel appearance, Shallow water and rich soil spell 
the best combination for this plant, but it also does well in 
ground kept slightly moist. Good as a background plant for 
pools and ponds. $1.25 each; $10.00 per doz. 
Wild Rice (Zizania aquatica). The importance of Wild Rice as 
a food for water fowls,cannot be over-emphasized. It is easily 
grown: in: shallow water and is decidedly ornamental, as it 
shoots up rapidly and makes a growth of 5 to 10 feet. Pan- 
icles of bloom make it additionally delightful. Should be 
planted in every pond. $1.75 per doz.; $12.00 per 100.
