HARDY WATER LILIES 
SUNRISE 
_ As the name suggests, it is a glorious yellow that opens earliest of all. This 
is the finest of the yellow flowering hardy lilies. Flowers of immense size 
produced early in the season on established plants and is altogether a strik- 
ing addition to the group of hardy water lilies. The buds are olive brown 
with a salmon flush. The long narrow petals stand at various angles, and 
with their curved sides and crinkled tips give the appearance of a giant 
chrysanthemum. The general color is a clear yellow with a touch 
of fluorescent green, the stamens rich lemon chrome. The leaves 
are almost egg shaped, with wavy, crinkled sides, deep green above 
and red flecked with dark red brown below. Unusual in form, 
beauty and fragrance. $5.00.

PINK, ROSE, and SALMON SHADES 
ROSE AREY. The flowers, a deep cerise-pink, sometimes reach 8 
inches in diameter. The petals are pointed and have a notice- 
able curl that gives the effect of darker shading near the edges. 
We consider Rose Arey one of the best of the Odorata type; a 
delightful surprise awaits you. $3.50. 
MARLIAC FLESH. A vigorous variety; flowers large, of soft flesh- 
pink, deepening towards base of petals; fragrant and produced 
freely and continuously through the season. Desirable and hand- 
some. (See color illustration on back cover.) $3.00. 
MARLIAC ROSE. In the Marliac type this variety is undoubtedly 
the best of the pinks because of the substance of the flower 
and its beautiful and attractive shape. Deep pink in color, shad- 
ing imperceptibly to a delicate rose at the tips of the petals. (See 
colored illustration on page 8.) $3.00. 
WILFON GONNERE. A very lovely introduction by Marliac. Flow- 
ers are cup-shaped, large, double, and rose-pink in color. A 
splendid counterpart of GONNERE, the double white. Foliage 
moderate and green. $3.50. 
MASANIELLO. Some years ago we introduced this splendid French 
hybrid but all too soon our stock was sold out. Lately it has 
received much attention and we are again offering this fine vari- 
ety. Its cup-shaped flowers are pink dotted with carmine and 
have a most pleasing fragrance. A free bloomer and very desir- 
able. Special indeed at $3.50. 
MME. JULES CHIFLOT. White of moderate growth, this plant 
produces lovely pink flowers of greatest size. The stamens are 
bright yellow, foliage light green. The rigid flower stalk often car- 
ries the blooms slightly above water level. It attracted a great 
deal of attention in our show pool last year. $3.50. 
LUSTROUS. If you want an unusually beautiful new lily for your 
pool, choose Lustrous. The large flowers of this outstanding 
novelty are marked by a lovely silvery sheen, sometimes called 
deep peach. Rose pink petals, thick yellow stamens, The sepals 
are deeper pink on the inside, brown underneath. The Lustrous 
is a strong grower and very com- 
pact as short leaf-stems restrict the 
spread. (See color illustration, page 
9.) $4.00. 
NEPTUNE. The flowers of this old 
favorite are star-shaped and 
of a deep rose heavily shaded with 
crimson. The inner petals are 
faintly spotted with white while the 
outer petals are almost white but 
shaded with rose. The early foliage 
is very interesting, as it is a deep 
maroon, but changing to green as 
it ages. A variety which is a splen- 
did free bloomer. $3.50. 
GLOIRE DU TEMPLE-SUR-LOT. 
This variety was originally in- 
troduced in 1913 but because of its 
slow propagation has never been 
pushed to its deserved place.. The 
most double flower we have ever 
had. The long narrow petals bend 
: : in at the top. On the first day of 
opening the color is a very tender pink changing to a pure white 
on the second day. The flowers are extremely large and are very 
fragrant. Not a particularly free-blooming variety until well es- 
tablished but well worth any room devoted to it. $3.50.

SOMPTUOSA. When first introduced in 1909 this variety was well 
accepted. The large flowers are very double and fragrant. 
The outside petals are rosy pink, but the petals gradually deepen 
in color toward the center of the flowers and are lightly spotted 
with carmine. The stamens are deep orange in color. A very 
desirable variety. $4.50. 
*PINK OPAL. Deep rich pink in color. The buds are almost 
round and open into a flower of interesting form. The 
petals are comparatively short and, on the first day of open- 
ing, the flowers are carried slightly above the surface of the 
water. The flowers are of very moderate size, valuable for 
cutting and the variety does especially well in restricted 
areas. (See illustration.) $2.50. 
CHANGEABLE OR SUNSET SHADES 
This interesting group includes the fascinating copper- 
colored varieties, the dainty shades of apricot and orange, 
and the so-called ‘“‘sunset colors’’. 
COMANCHE. A French hybrid which has become practi- 
; cally standard in this color group. The flowers open a 
rich apricot which color changes later to a deep coppery 
_ bronze as the flower ages, the oldest flowers showing a 
glowing red color in the center. The orange stamens present an 
attractive contrast. (See color illustration on page 9.) $4.50. 
PAUL HARIOT. We always hesitate in expressing a personal 
choice but we have an especial liking for the very charming 
variety, Paul Hariot. Its beauty is difficult to describe. The flow- 
ers are quite large and are produced freely. The first day the pet- 
als are clear yellow, suffused with an orange pink the second day. 
It gradually deepens to almost red on the following days. A most 
desirable variety. $4.00. 
ROBINSONI. This variety was orig- 
inally produced in 1895 by the 
famous French introducer. The 
flowers are of medium size, star- 
shaped. The predominant color is 
a crimson-vermilion shaded with a 
rich orange yellow toward the cen- 
ter. The foliage is olive green in 
color spotted with maroon. This
