NEW DAY-BLOOMING VARIETIES 
ACH year this group of magnificent flowers becomes 
more popular. Garden lovers often strive hard with 
other plants to receive their reward of only a few 
flowers. Here what rich rewards await the Water Gardener! 
These plants are the Aristocrats of the Water Garden; their 
numerous flowers the most gorgeous of all aquatics. The 
twelve varieties listed on this page are the finest available 
in the U.S. 
BAGDAD—A truly spectacular plant with very colorful large mottled 
green and plum colored leaves and giant lavender blue flowers. BAGDAD 
is a strong viviparous plant which will thrive under conditions not 
suitable to the more “warm blooded’? tropicals. Its leaves and flowers 
will form a magic carpet in your pool. BAGDAD is outstanding 
anywhere! $3.00 each 
DIRECTOR G. H. MOORE—An extremely floriferous lily, producing 
very many medium sized leaves and lovely royal purple flowers. This 
plant strives to have many flowers continuously in bloom! It was 
featured in a full colored photograph in Saturday Evening Post during 
the 1941 season and is destined to be one of America’s Favorite Water 
Lilies. $3.00 each. 
MIDNIGHT—The first double flowered water lily ever produced. An 
absolutely ‘‘new break’? with all the stamens replaced by petals making 
a dark blue rosette in the center of the flower. The flowers are small, 
dark violet and open very early in the day. A hybrid of N. Colorata, it 
has numerous leaves and is very floriferous. $3.00 each. 
SUNBEAM — This is the first pure yellow, viviparous, day blooming, 
tropical water lily. It has excellent size and shape and is darker yellow 
than any previous yellow tropicals. It is a distinct advance in the yellow 
water lilies and a magnificent plant. Careful propagation of stock during 
past few years enables us to offer a limited number at the low price of 
$3.50 each. 
TALISMAN — A strong, viviparous, tropical day blooming water lily 
named after the Talisman Rose because it possesses the same brilliant 
combination of yellow suffused and overlaid with pink. The flower is 
large, clear, light yellow ground color strongly suffused and overlaid with 
pink giving an apricot effect. Limited stock, but a remarkable flower at 
$3.50 each. 
MRS. GEO. H. PRING—One of the most popular White Tropical 
day bloomers. Flowers 8 to 10 inches across under favorable conditions, 
but can be used in small pools, too. $2.50 each. 
GENERAL PERSHING—This lily, named after our famous war general, 
is considered the finest of all pink Tropical Lilies. The flowers have 
splendid size and are a pale rose purple in color. They are delightfully 
fragrant and open early in the morning. Buds are dark green striped 
with purple. Leaves dark green blotched with pink beneath. 
$2.50. each. 
MRS. EDWARDS WHITAKER (Var. gigantea)—This is the largest 
flowering day blooming water lily, and where well fertilized and given 
plenty of room for roots and leaves, will produce flowers over a foot 
across, and plenty of them. The flowers are a lavender blue which 
shades into a pale blue as the blossoms age. Leaves are light green, 
occasionally spotted with dark purple beneath. $2.50 each. 
_ BLUE BEAUTY [Or Pennsylvania) — This is one of the largest sell- 
ing Blue Tropical Water Lilies. Produces many deep blue flowers with 
yellow stamens and centers. Open during the day. Size up to 10 inches 
diameter when amply nourished. $2.50 each. 
_ AUGUST KOCH — This is one of the older viviparous day blooming 
lilies. Flowers are lavender-blue with gold stamens, about 6” to 8” in 
size. 
The plant is very satisfactory for Northern conditions. One of 
$2.75 each. 

ANY Goldfish Pools are built as a part of, or in 
conjunction with, a Rock Garden, and indeed 
these two forms of Gardening do blend most har- 
moniously in certain settings.

Greenhouses in heated tanks which duplicate Summer 
conditions. The lilies are not placed in pools in the 
Cincinnati area until the last week in May when 
weather is warm and settled. We can ship to Florida 
and the Far South in April, other Southern States 
may receive their plants early in May; Northern 
States about June 1 to 15. We will guarantee the 
growth of our Tropical lilies when shipped at proper 
planting season only. We will however ship to Green- 
houses or for inside use earlier upon request but can 
guarantee only that they will arrive in good condi- 
tion — the growing depends on your conditions.
