see TROPICAL WATER LILIES (Cont'd) -------- 
PURPLE AND VIOLET 
(THE LEAF PROPAGATING WATER LILIES) 
We consider these the most satisfactory, the most fascinating, and the richest colored of all Tropical Lilies. 
These lilies from Central Africa are unique among water lilies in that young plants propagate from their leaves. Often 
a dozen little plants may be seen on the leaves of one large plant. Many of these will bloom while still attached to main 
plant. Very interesting to watch. They do splendid- 
ly in the tub garden or small pool and are more har- 
dy than other tropicals. Flowers are 6 to 8 inches across. 
PANAMA PACIFIC: Rich lilac-purple with bright 
yellow stamens which make a striking contrast. (Illus- 
trated in color on page 15.) A GIANT, BUDDED 
PLANT, $2.25. 
AUGUST KOCH: One of the greatest water lilies 
of them all. Petals are a deep bluish violet. The 
sepals are lilac-purple. (Illustrated in color on page 15.) 
A GIANT, BUDDED PLANT, $2.50.

NIGHT BLOOMING WATER LILIES 
No pool, regardless of size, is complete without at least one night blooming lily. Your pool will then put on a show 24 
hours a day. Night blooming lilies will make your pool a beautiful sight during the hours when your grounds are most 
often enjoyed by your family and friends. You can actually see the dazzling flowers unfold, petal by petal, just before 
dusk. (Opening only takes a few minutes.) Be sure to 
include at least one night bloomer in your order!

Night bloomers open just before dark and stay open blooms throughout July, August, September and October. 
until nearly noon the next day. On cloudy days they do (Young ladies are neighbors of ours.) 
not close. Each bloom will open and close for several days. 
WHITE 
MISSOURI: Giant creamy-white. One of the two 
largest water lilies, being equalled in size only by Mrs. 
Edwards Whitaker. Often reaches 13 inches across when 
given room enough. However, it will do splendidly in 
small pools even though somewhat crowded. It begins to 
bloom much sooner than Juno and is much more depend- © 
able. Leaves are heavily veined and have interesting ser- 
rated edges. White lilies show up better than colored ones 
at night and this is the Queen of them all! (Illustrated in 
color on page 15.) A GIANT PLANT $2.75. 
PINK 
EMILY HUTCHINGS: Giant red-pink. Probably 
the brightest colored water lily in existence. The freest 
flowering of all the night bloomers. It generally has 3 or 4 
blooms at a time instead of the usual 1 or 2. By far the 
best of all the colored night blooming lilies. (Note: Color 
is much better than that of Mrs. Hitchcock which is actu- 
ally a “dirty pink.) Does well in any size pool. (Illus- 
trated in color on page 15.) A GIANT PLANT, $2.50.
