Natural color photo on ANSCO COLOR FILM taken at the Slocum Water Gardens. 
PEARL OF THE POOL (Upper 2 pinks in above photo): A beautiful new pink lily developed at our own gardens 
which sets a new high in pink water lilies. As far as we know Pearl of the Pool is the first patented hardy water lily. 
Its name was suggested by one of our neighbors who thought that it resembled a huge pink pearl as it floated upon the 
water. Visitors and water lily experts seeing this lily for the first time go into ecstacies over it. All proclaim it the most 
beautiful in its color class. 
It has the following improvements over the other light pinks: 1.) It is a deeper, richer pink than other popular light 
pinks such as Morning Glory and Mrs. C. W. Thomas; 2.) It is more double, having 38-40 petals—about 10 more than 
the average lily; 3.) It holds its gorgeous pearly pink color for 5 full days while most other light pinks fade to a dull 
white on the second day (some only last 3 days); 4.) With its extra long, slender, rolled edge petals, it presents a big im- 
provement in flower form. 
The flowers are very large and are borne freely. A wonderful lily. A GIANT ROOT, $5.00. 
AFLAME (Escarboucle) (Illustrated in color above): The most brilliant of all red hardy water lilies. A very bright 
blood red. A good bloomer. Form is more STAR shaped than most other reds. Large blooms. A GIANT ROOT, $3.50.
