French Hybrid but all too soon our stock was sold out. 
Lately it has received much attention and we are again offering 
this fine variety. Its cup-shaped flowers are pink dotted with 
carmine and have a most pleasing fragrance. A free bloomer 
and very desirable. Special indeed at $2.00. 


MME. JULES CHIFLOT. While of moderate growth, this plant 
produces lovely pink flowers of greatest size. The stamens 
are bright yellow, foliage light green. The rigid flower stalk 
often carries the blooms slightly above water level. It at- 
tracted a great deal of attention in our show pool last year. 
(See illustration.) $2.50. 
LUSTROUS. If you want an unusually beautiful new lily for 
your pool, choose Lustrous. The large flowers of this out- 
standing novelty are marked by a lovely silvery sheen, some- 
times called deep peach. Rose pink petals, thick yellow stamens. 
The sepals are deeper pink on the inside, brown underneath. 
The Lustrous is a strong grower and very compact as short 
leafstems restrict the spread. (See color illustration, page aats))
