YELLOW SHADES 
SUNRISE. A glorious yellow variety that opens very early in the 
morning, which habit, we think, inspired its name. The buds 
are Olive brown. Its long, narrow petals with curved sides and 
crinkled tips give the appearance of a giant Chrysanthemum. There 
is a slight trace of green back of the clear yellow of the petals and 
the stamens are a rich lemon-chrome. Truly an unusual variety in 
on beauty and fragrance. (See color illustration on page 10.) 
CHROMATELLA. One of the oldest water lily hybrids of the Marliac 
group. It is compact in growth, with flowers of fair size. 
Chromatella is a clear, rich yellow and produces flowers most 
abundantly. (See color illustration on page 8.) $3.50. 
RED 
GLORIOSA. This variety heads the list of red, hardy lilies because 
of its dependability and great attractiveness. It blooms early 
even on newly set out plants and continues late in the season. It 
is really a remarkable red in color. Flowers are often 6-7 inches 
across, perfect in form and quite double. Its perfume is similar to 
that of apple blossoms. (Illustrated in color, at right.) $4.00. 
ATTRACTION. Larger in size and much deeper in color than 
Gloriosa. The petals are garnet red. The sepals are almost 
white with streaks of faint rose but as the flower ages the color 
becomes a rich, deep red with garnet streaked sepals. Stamens are 
rich mahogany tipped with yellow. One of the largest flowering 
hardy water lilies. $5.00. 
ene’ DON gece nc cod me | ave A) super 0) variety smost GLORIOSA. Beautiful intense red. Large flowers. Enchanting fragrance. 
difficult to describe. It is exceedingly free blooming and pro- 
duces flowers amaranth rose in color 4-5 inches in diameter. A 
most desirable variety. $4.50. 
ESCARBOUCLE. The flowers being a uniform vermilion red in color stand 
out in any group of lilies as a most striking variety. A free bloomer 
and meritorious variety although it is still quite scarce. $5.50. 
CONQUEROR. This variety is very similar in form and character to 
Attraction except that the sepals are quite white, making a pro- 
nounced contrast with the bright garnet red petals which are several 
shades lighter than Attraction. $4.00. 
NEWTON. We are particularly pleased to have developed some stock of 
this variety for we have always been a bit partial to it. The enor- 
mous flowers are star-shaped in form. The long narrow petals are bright 
cherry red in color. It has always been much admired by our visitors. $3.50. 
JAMES HUDSON. A very rare variety introduced first in 1912. The flow- 
ers are tulip-shaped in form, the petals being sharply pointed. The 
rare rosy crimson color of this flower develops a beautiful mauve reflec- 
tion. The leaves are roundish in form and slightly indented. An excel- 
lent variety priced at $4.00. 
WHITE 
GONNERE. An exceedingly double flowering white hardy lily. The petals 
are snowy white and so numerous in number that the flower resem- 
bles a huge snowball. The light green color of the foliage is a bit unusual 
in water lilies. On established plants it is a very free-bloomer. (Illus- 
trated in color on page 9.) $4.00. 
MARLIAC WHITE. One of the old standard varieties of hardy water lilies 
in the Marliac type. Flowers are of a sparkling white, stamens light 
yellow, sepals flushed with pink, fragrant, free and continuously blooming 
and of moderate growth. (Illustrated on page 8.) $3.00. 
GLADSTONE. Truly the king of the white lilies because of its great size 
and dazzling whiteness. Flower opens up to 8 inches across, sparkling 
in its pure brilliancy. A strong grower but until well established not as 
free blooming as either of the other white varieties listed above. $2.75. 
HERMINE. A very fine variety of moderate growth. The beautiful snow- 
white flowers have pointed petals and the lovely flowers look like white 
stars among the green leaves. Excellent for tub gardens. $2.25.

HESE are the strong, free-growing, spreading varieties that 
are so splendid for ponds. Varieties listed have luxuriant 
foliage and beautiful flowers. All are extra hardy and especially lilies 
adapted for naturalizing. The great leaf spread provides shade 
and the plants afford protection for the young fish from their 
natural enemies. Pools used for growing game fishes should 
by all means be planted with these lilies.

will naturally spread out into the deeper water. Note the very low prices.

beautiful.
