PURPLE DAY-BLOOMING TROPICALS (Cont.) 
*AUGUST KOCH. Without question the outstanding of the viviparous 
water lilies named in honor of August Koch of the Chicago Park System. 
The flowers are 7 to 8 inches across. They open four to six successive days. 
The sepals are purplish-lilac in color and the stamens pale wistaria-violet 
in color. Compact in its growth. (See color illustration on page 3.) 
*PANAMA-PACIFIC. The last hybrid produced by the late William Tricker. 
Buds come out of the water, bronzy-green spotted with reddish-brown. The 
petals are plum purple in color. A most adaptable lily for either pool or tub 
culture. $2.50. 
*ROYAL PURPLE. This handsome new lily is identical in growth and 
habit to that excellent variety, Panama-Pacific, except that the color is a 
‘glowing royal purple. This viviparous novelty will add a note of regal 
splendor to your pool. $2.75. 
DIRECTOR GEORGE T. MOORE (Pring 1941). This new hybrid’s leaves 
and flowers, though small, are borne in great profusion. Each plant makes 
a striking rosette of small leaves on the water—often bears 8 to 10 flowers 
at one time. Rich purple. $4.00. 
MIDNIGHT (Pring 1941). Something new in water lilies is this dark-violet 
double flower—all its stamens are replaced by petals, making a dark blue 
rosette in the center of the lily. Has numerous leaves and is very florif- 
erous. $3.50. 

*AN INTERESTING VARIETY. Indicates the leaf propagating varieties. 
All of this group have the interesting characteristic of, occasionally, 
producing young plants on the surface of the leaves. Often these small plants 
bear flowers. Some of the viviparous varieties are much more prolific in this 
manner than others.

EAM. Brilliant and refreshing as an early morning sunbeam, 
variety (see color illustration on page 14) produces clear yellow 
t first they are only slightly darker than the parent ST. LOUIS, 
the flower ages, the color deepens. SUNBEAM is classed as a vivip- 
water lily and for the past three years has been tremendously 
sful in our own pools, We are certain that you, too, will enjoy 
aut and satisfaction of having this lovely lily in your pool. $4.00. 
ST. LOUIS. The first yellow Tropical Water Lily. Has the excellent 
features for which Pring hybrids are noted. Produces large yellow 
flowers and has beautiful mottled foliage. This patented lily offered ex- 
clusively by Tricker. $3.50. 



AFRICAN GOLD. With this variety we have been particularly well 
pleased. It is closely related to St. Louis, but is many shades deeper 
yellow. We think that the name is particularly pleasing and appropri- 
ate. $7.50. 
AUTUMN SHADES 
TALISMAN. Here we have the real choice introduction of the year. 
This variety has been named after the ‘Talisman’? Rose since it 
possesses the same brilliant combination of yellow suffused and overlaid 
with pink. The flower is large and star shaped. The ground color is a 
clear light yellow strongly flushed with a bright pink when the bud first 
opens. As the flower ages, from the second day on, the pink spreads more 
and more through the petals and the yellow intensifies, giving a general 
apricot effect. $3.00. 
GOLDEN WEST (Randig). In 1936 Mr. Martin Randig, San Bernar- 
dino, Calif., produced some excellent hybrid tropical lilies, among them 
a seedling from St. Louis. In our own pools this has been outstanding. 
The beautiful peach-pink flowers change in color to a lovely light apricot 
as the flowers mature. The green leaves are heavily speckled with maroon. 
An excellent grower and bloomer—very fragrant. $2.75. 
NIGHT-BLOOMING TROPICALS 
The most beautiful of all lilies 
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, guaranteed to grow. Read our liberal 
guarantee. Insert A. 
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 cer- 
tainly a splendid variety and a valuable addition to the list of night-bloomers, 
(See illustration on page 4.) $2.75. 
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 copper colored leaves make it a most outstanding 
variety in any pool. Without question, this is our 
choice of the finest red flowering night-bloomers. 
(See color illustration on back cover.) $2.50. 
FRANK TRELEASE. An early introduction that 
continues well in popularity. The flowers are dark 
erimson 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 ma- 
ture. $2.25. 
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. $2.25. 
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, pro- 
ducing flowers of greatest size. Hasy to grow and 
a very valuable addition to the group of night- 
blooming water lilies. $2.50. 
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 Nym- 
phaeas, making an ideal centerpiece for a large 
pool. $2.25.

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 illustra- 
tion below.) $3.00. 
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. $2.25.
