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 Fer- 
tilizer. We ship the largest roots that grow! 
Notice: By nature the following varieties form smaller roots than other varieties: Aurora, Paul Hariot, Rose Arey, 
Pink Opal, W. B. Shaw, Snowball. James Brydon is generally smaller than other red varieties but we have a large 
supply of giant roots on hand this year.

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. 
AFLAME (Escarboucle): The most brilliant red hardy 
water lily. (See previous page.) $3.50. 
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 
distinct cup-shape. Size—5 inches across. Beautiful pur- 
ple 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. 
ROBINSONI: A glorious orange-red. Its 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. 
PINKS 
PINK SENSATION: Our newest origination. The 
finest pink hardy water lily in existence. Complete de- 
scription on Page 8. 
PEARL OF THE POOL: Patent 666—see previous 
page. 
AMABALIS: A huge star shaped lily that is truly 
magnificent. The color is a light-medium pink, being 
deeper 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. 
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.

Arey in color but deeper. Has a delightful fragrance and

splendidly in the small! pool or tub garden. $1.50.

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.
