se STAR TRIO x 
Three Stars in the firmament of Tropical Water Lilies; an 
ideal color combination which provides 24 hours of bloom 
each day. As illustrated, CASTALIFLORA, a superb, 
fragrant pink, day-bloomer; EMILY GRANT HUTCH- 
INGS, a brilliant red night-bloomer . . . combines 
beautifully with other lilies; HENRY SHAW, a campan- 
ula blue day-bloomer with lemon-chrome 
stamens tipped with light blue. Alto- 
gether an exquisite trio (Collection 
No. T-8), 
CASTALIFLORA. Bright pink flowers are moderately large, fra- 
grant, and altogether charming. Its growth is identical to the 
blue flowering Henry Shaw for which it makes a fine companion 
in the STAR TRIO. $3.00. 
EMILY GRANT HUTCHINGS. A new night-blooming water lily of 
great merit produced at Tower Grove Park, St. Louis, Missouri. 
It produces exceedingly large cup-shaped flowers of an amaranth- 
red color. This is certainly a splendid variety and a valuable addi- 
tion to the list of night-bloomers. $3.25. 
HENRY SHAW. An outstanding blue flowering variety. Lovely 
campanula-blue in color with stamens of lemon-chrome tipped 
with a lighter campanula-blue than the petals. This variety is of 
moderate growth, blooms freely and has a delightful 
fragrance. Splendid for small pools. An excellent day- 
blooming variety named in honor of the founder of the 
Missouri Botanical Gardens. $3.00. 
My lilies and aquatic plants arrived and have been put out 
promptly. 
During the year, I receive many groups of plants from all kinds 
of places and I want to say that I have never received plants so 
beautifully packed and cared for. 
My sincere congratulations and personal thanks.
