GLADSTONE 
The Gladstone, pictured page 15, is the 
largest of the white water lilies, its flowers 
frequently attaining a diameter of 6 to 8 
inches. Its big, cup-shaped bloom, which is 
composed of broad, waxy petals, is of the 
purest white imaginable. The petals form 
a perfect contrast with the flower’s golden 
yellow stamens and dark green leaves. It 
“requires considerable space for best devel- 
opment, but if given the proper space in 
which to grow it will bloom freely and re- 
ward its grower with table flowers which 
can not be surpassed. $2.75.

These Make a Perfect Dozen 
Six More Lilies for Additional Charm 
THE six water lilies listed on the dozen different species. These 
preceding page are basic species lilies—whites, reds, rose-pink and 
which we think no pool, even a carmen-rose—are of shade and hue 
relatively small one, should be variations that blend perfectly with 
without. The lilies presented here those of our basic six lilies. This

large size, with a capacity for a 
group of 6 — $29.25 value — for 
$25.59. The perfect dozen—$53.75 
value—for $47.03. 
Hardy Water Lilies 
WILLIAM FALCONER 
This is an old-time favorite which isn’t listed too 
frequently any more. Its flowers, which are large 
and perfectly shaped, and of fine texture, are 
bright maroon-crimson in hue—one of the deep- 
est reds of all—with conspicuous golden yellow 
centers. Its leaves are a brilliant red at first, 
later becoming green with red veins. $5.00. 
MRS. RICHMOND 
An immense globular flower, deep pink in hue, 
deepening to an even richer, warmer pink toward 
the center. It has golden yellow stamens. This 
lily is a favorite with water gardeners with 
medium or large pools, for it has a vigorous con- 
stitution and produces blooms in great pro- 
fusion. A decided acquisition, in every respect, 
for any pool. $10.00.

water, is of medium size, and always has a most 
delicious perfume. $3.00.

green in color. $5.00.
