Ea TROPICAL WATER LILIES 
MOST ENJOYABLE OF ALL 
YOUR pool will put on evening dress every night if you plant these 
majestic varieties of night-blooming lilies. There is something fanciful 
about the way the dazzling blooms open as the others are closing in 
sleep, and remain open all night, reluctantly closing the next morning 
when the sun again gets bright. On cloudy days they sometimes remain 
open all day as well. Night-blooming lilies will surely make your pool 
a show place during the hours when the grounds are most usually 
enjoyed by family and guests. Vigorous, five-inch pot plants, guaran- 
teed to grow. Read our liberal guarantee, page 2. 
RED 
EMILY GRANT HUTCHINGS. A new night-blooming water lily of 
great merit produced at Tower Grove Park, St. Louis, Missouri. 
It produces exceedingly large cup-shaped flowers of an amaranth-red 
color. This is certainly a splendid variety and a valuable addition to 
the list of night-bloomers. (See illustration on page 38.) $2.50. 
H. C. HAARSTICK. As all colors stand out by contrast so the red of 
H. C. Haarstick becomes a dominating factor in every pool where 
it is planted. The brilliant red, large well shaped flowers and its cop- 
per colored leaves make it a most outstanding variety in any pool. 
Without question, this is our choice of the finest red flowering night- 
bloomers, $2.25. 
FRANK TRELEASE. An early introduction that continues well in popu- 
larity. The flowers are dark crimson in color and the stamens 
mahogany. The petals are long, narrow and rounded at the ends. At 
first the leaves are green, mottled with dark red which change to a 
bronzy red as the leaves mature. $2.00. 
DEVONSHIRE. Another very old variety still worth cultivating in any 
pool. Bright rosy flowers standing well up out of the water. A very 
choice and desirable night-bloomer. $2.00. 
PINK 
MRS. GEO. C. HITCHCOCK. This variety is really a glorified Omarana, 
one of the oldest hybrid water lilies. It is a real rose pink in color, 
producing flowers of greatest size. Easy to grow and a very valuable 
addition to the group of night-blooming water lilies. $2.25. 
STURTEVANT. This exceedingly beautiful night-blooming lily is a 
splendid hybrid variety. The flowers are 8 to 12 inches across and 
a bright pink. This variety produces a striking effect when several of 
the immense flowers open in a group. It requires liberal treatment and 
a hot summer to bring it to its greatest perfection. One of the very 
best Nymphaeas, making an ideal center piece for a large pool. $2.00. 
WHITE 
MISSOURI. It is no more than right to place this variety at the head 
of the list of white night-bloomers. The flowers have the beauty 
and form of Sturtevant but none of its touchy tenderness. Blooms 
early. It is nothing unusual to have these flowers 12 inches across. 
The broad petals give the flower a most distinctive appearance. The 
young leaves are light coppery brown when they first appear but soon 
develop to a dark green with deeply serrated edges. Truly a supreme 
beauty. (See color illustration on page 7.) $2.75. 
JUNO. Under standardized plant names the old variety Dentata Superba became 
Juno. It is really the most perfect modern flower developed by cultivation 
from the sacred white Lotus of Egyptian tradition. Flowers 8 to 12 inches across 
are produced most freely throughout the summer and early fall. The flowers open 
very wide, almost flat. The stamens are saffron yellow in color. $2.00. 
VICTORIAS 
Benjamin R. Kittredge 
CYPRESS GARDENS 
Oakley Depot, S. Car. 
VICTORIAS : 
(V. Trickeri.) An interesting aquatic plant 
characterized by enormous leaves, often 6 feet 
across, with the edges turned stiffly erect to 
the height of 3 to 8 inches. The weight of a 
girl is easily supported by the leaves. Victorias 
thrive under the.same conditions as the tender 
lilies but for full development require plenty 
of space. 
A variety which does well with proper care 
in the latitude of Cleveland. The flowers are 
enormous, 15 to 18 inches in diameter, open- 
ing white on the evening of the first day, and 
closing the middle of the following morning. 
On the second day the flower opens about 
four o’clock in the afternoon and is colored 
a deep pink. The fragrant flowers smell very 
much like a ripe pincapple. Adapted only to 
very large pools or natural ponds where they 
are very showy. $10.
