LUCIDA 
This variety, introduced into the U. S. in the 
early 1900’s, is still considered one of the best 
hardy red water lilies. It is smooth, rosy red, 
clear and evenly colored, with petals of a cool, 
pleasing transparency. Color does not change 
appreciably from day to day. Leaves are pur- 
plish, and spread very little. Long season, pro- 
lific bloom. $5.00. 
ODORATA ROSEA 
Odorata Rosea is probably better known to most 
people as the Cape Cod pink water lily. Its flow- 
ers, about four inches in diameter, are a beautiful 
shade of rose-pink at the tips of the petals, deep- 
ening to intense pink at the center of the bloom. 
Its stamens are of pure yellow. It is a fragrant 
flower, with dark, reddish-green leaves. $5.00. 
DAWN 
One of the great features of this beautiful variety 
is its continuity of flowering from May to October. 
Its flowers are large and globular, a delicate 
white in color. One of the largest lilies intro- 
duced. Also one of the most deliciously scented 
lilies in our stock. Made available to our cus- 
tomers for the first time this year. $10.00. 
ROSE AREY 
The Rose Arey is an old, old friend which we 
have long considered the most desirable of all 
our fragrant water lilies. It is a brilliant pink 
in color—often described as a deep cerise— 
with a cluster of golden yellow stamens in the 
center. It is the structure of the flower, how- 
ever, which appeals to many water lily fan- 
ciers. It is a large flower, often producing a 
bloom 7 inches in diameter. Its petals are 
pointed and have a slight curl, which gives the 
effect of a darker shading at the edges. De- 
spite all its delicate beauty, it is a healthy 
flower, and one of our best bloomers. $3.50. 
Hardy Water Lilies 
FULVA 
The Fulva is one of the fascinating water lilies 
which come under the heading of changeable. The 
blooms of this flower are open and cup-shaped. 
The inner petals of the bloom range in color from 
an off-yellow to a light shade of coppery red, 
which is spotted with sulphur. The sepals are 
basically a sulphur color, stained purple. 
foliage is an interesting study in rich green, 
heavily stained and spotted with purple. 
WILLIAM DOOGUE 
This pretty variety, developed in this country, is 
remarkable for the extreme breadth of its petals 
and their stout substance. The blossom is im- 
mense, a cup-shaped bloom of delicate shell-pink, 
passing to a refreshing blush of white. The sepals 
are deep pink and slightly incurving. The flower 
requires a bit more room to grow than some 
species, but if given the necessary space it will 
thrive and bloom freely all season. $4.00.
