FINEST 
IN 
HARDY WATER LILIES 
GIANT 2 YEAR OLD STOCK—THE LARGEST ROOTS THAT GROW 
OUR GIANT ROOTS WILL GIVE YOU MORE BLOOMS!! 
Everybody loves the hardy water lilies. The word water lily stands for purity. With their beautiful flowers and pads 
floating upon the water, the hardy lily is a perfect symbol of purity. A lovely pool of hardy lilies with shrubs or a rock 
garden for the background is truly a poet’s paradise. Hardy lilies are equally at home in the concrete pool, tub or half 
barrel. (See Page 22.) They are PERENNIALS and will bloom year after year. 
Hardy lilies are one of the easiest of all flowers to grow. Just plant them horizontally in a box (2 feet square x 1 foot 
deep), half barrel, or bushel basket, and watch them grow. They do best with about 1 foot of water over their roots. For 
best results mix Slocum/’s Perfection (the perfect water lily fertilizer) into soil. Hardy lilies can also be planted directly 
into bottom of pool. (See Page 22 for PLANTING TUBS.) 
Hardy lilies are all day bloomers. They open in the early morning and close in the afternoon. Each flower lasts 3 to 5 
days. Hardy lilies bloom continuously all summer long. Our Hardy lilies are all grown with Rotted Dairy Fertilizer.

REDS 
The red lilies are the most popular of all the colored 
water lilies with visitors to our gardens. Their brilliant 
showy colors stand out above all others. All the red lilies 
are exceptionally free flowering. If your pool is large 
enough, be sure to include several of them as they have a 
wide color range. 
JAMES BRYDON: The finest red water lily of them 
all. A beautiful deep rose red. The only fragrant red, 
having the perfume of sweet apples. An exceptionally free 
bloomer. Its broad, concave petals give the flower a dis- 
tinct cup-shape. Size—5 inches across. Beautiful purple 
leaves. Its small leaf spread makes it ideal for either tub 
or the small pool. Our first choice of an all around red. 
(Illustrated in color on Page 3.) A GIANT ROOT, $3.25. 
ATTRACTION: The largest red water lily. The huge 
flowers are a rich mahogany red—deeper colored than 
any other red we list. Being a very free bloomer as well, 
this lily rates as one of the world’s greatest water lilies. 
(Illustrated in color on front cover and Page 7.) A GIANT 
ROOT, $3.00. 
GLORIOSA: A beautiful red lily that does well every- 
where—even in partial shade. It has everything that one 
could long for in a lily: Beauty, size, freedom of bloom, 
dependability, and a very long blooming season. Do not 
overlook this one! (Illustrated in color on back cover.) 
A GIANT ROOT, $3.25. 
ROBINSONIT: A glorious orange-red. It’s 4 to 5 inch 
flowers are borne very freely throughout the season. The 
broad petals are rolled near the tips giving a “pinched” 
effect. Leaves are bronzed-purple. A real beauty. (Illus- 
trated in color on Page 7.) A GIANT ROOT, $3.00. 
CONQUEROR: One of the finest and most dependable 
water lilies of them all. The giant flowers often reach 8 
inches across and are borne very freely. Very unusual 
coloring—crimson, variegated with white. We highly 
recommend this lily. A GIANT ROOT, $2.75. 
AFLAME: See previous page. $3.50. 


PINKS 
AMABALIS: A huge star shaped lily that is truly 
magnificent. The color is a light-medium pink, being deep- 
er in the center of the flower. ““Amabalis” is French for 
“pleasing” and truly that describes this lovely flower. 
One of the first to bloom in the spring and last to stop in 
the fall. A sensation! (Illustrated in color on Page 7.) 
A GIANT ROOT, $2.50. 
ROSE AREY: The “sweetheart” of all water lilies! 
A magnificent deep salmon pink with beautiful rolled 
petals. The most fragrant hardy water lily, and my mother’s 
favorite of them all. When planted in a large container 
and allowed to form a colony of several roots (requires 
2 or 3 months), it is free flowering. (Illustrated in color on 
back cover.) A GIANT ROOT, $2.50. 
SOMPTUOSA: A rich strawberry pink. Not flecked and 
spotted as are Splendida, Neptune, Formosa and many 
other free blooming deep pinks. A delicate, but noticeable, 
fragrance. Exceptionally free blooming. Medium sized 
flowers, 5 inches across. One of the first lilies to bloom in 
the spring. Plant it with GOLDEN CUP. The contrast 
of pink and yellow is magnificent! (Illustrated in color on 
Page 3.) A GIANT ROOT, $2.75. 
PINK OPAL: A lovely deep pink, similar to Rose 
Arey in color but deeper. Has a delightful fragrance and 
makes a perfect cut flower. Medium size flowers. It does 
splendidly in the small pool or tub garden. $1.50. 
(Illustrated in color on Page 22. 
RENE GERARD: The largest deep pink hardy water 
lily. The huge flowers average 7 to 9:inches across— 
almost as large as Sunrise. Very free blooming. A GIANT 
ROOT, $3.00. 
MARLIAC FLESH: Quite similar to gorgeous Morning 
Glory only a little smaller. We recommend this for any 
size pool, including tub gardens. In habits and freedom 
of bloom, it is identical to the popular Golden Cup. Do 
not overlook this one! A GIANT ROOT, $2.00. 
MARLIAC ROSE: A gorgeous old rose (light-medium 
pink). Free flowering. Some consider this the finest of the 
pinks. Does well anywhere. A GIANT ROOT, $2.59.

ideal cut flower. $1.00.

mens. Star shaped flowers. Very free flowering. A GIANT

MORNING GLORY: One of the most beautiful water 
lilies in the world. It is a magnificent waxy soft pink— 
almost white. A very free bloomer, having as many as 5 
blooms at once the first year and high as 14 the second.
