Here is the pink water lily the whole world has been waiting for. It has everything, including the same rich color 
throughout the flower; is extremely free-blooming; has fragrance; remains open two to three hours after other hardy water 
lilies have closed. Here at our Gardens, it stays open from early in the morning until about 6 P. M. One plant usually 
has 3 or 4 blooms at a time throughout the whole summer. One of our wholesale customers after seeing it at our Gardens, 
ordered 10. Two months later, this same customer ordered 50 more with a note that this was the finest pink she had 
ever seen. 
A GIANT ROOT—$4.00 
Whites 
SNOWBALL (Gonnere): A magnificent white lily 
which is just about “perfection” itself. Very double, re- 
sembling a huge snowball. Actually, it has more petals 
than any other water lily. (Illustrated on Pages 3, 7.) 
A GIANT ROOT, $3.25. 
GLADSTONE: A huge pure white lily which averages 
even larger than Snowball. A GIANT ROOT, $2.25. 
TUBEROSA RICHARDSONI: A Huge, very double 
white water lily which is very fragrant. We recommend this 
especially for the natural pond. $2.50. 
Changeable Colors 
Here are three of the finest and most delicately colored 
lilies in our gardens. Every pool should have at least one 
of them. They open up a light color and grow darker 
through each successive day. Quite often one may see 
THREE DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT BLOOMS ON 
THE SAME PLANT. All are very dependable and ex- 
tremely free flowering.

COMANCHE: The orange water lily. It opens up a rich 
apricot and changes to a deep copper-orange as the flower 
ages (see color illustration on back cover). It has one of 
the longest blooming seasons of any lily, giving nearly five 
full months of bloom in this climate. A remarkable lily. 
A GIANT ROOT, $3.00 
PAUL HARIOT: One of the finest of all hardy lilies. 
Very unusual coloring. An apricot-yellow, the first day, 
which gradually changes to a brilliant orange-pink by the 
third day. After the first day it closely RESEMBLES the 
TALISMAN ROSE in color. A very small leaf spread. Its 
habits make it especially suited for the tub garden or 
the small pool. Very free flowering. Do not overlook this 
one! (Illustrated in color on Page 3.) A GIANT ROOT, 
$2.75. 

SPECIAL VALUE 
AURORA: The only PIGMY lily which we list. 
Very small leaves, roots, and flowers. It has the 
widest color range of any changeable. Opens apricot- 
yellow and changes to deep orange-red. Ideal for 
the Tub Garden or an odd corner of any pool. 
$1.75. (INustrated in color on Page 22.)
