Here is the pink water lily the whole world has been waiting for. It has everything, including the same rich color 
throughout the flower; is extremely free-blooming; has fragrance; remains open two or three hours after other hardy 
water lilies have closed. Here at our Gardens, it stays open from early in the morning until about 6 P. M. One plant 
usually has 3 or 4 blooms at a time throughout the whole summer. One of our wholesale customers after seeing it at 
our Gardens, ordered 10. Two months later, this same customer ordered 50 more with a note that this was the finest 
pink she had ever seen. A GIANT ROOT, $5.00. 
WHITES 
SNOWBALL (Gonnere): A magnificent white lily 
which is just about “perfection” itself. Very double, re- 
sembling a huge snowball. (Illustrated on Pages 3, 7.) 
A GIANT ROOT, $4.00. 
ODORATA MAJOR: A huge pure white lily. Very 
showy. A GIANT ROOT, $1.50. 
TUBEROSA RICHARDSONI: A huge, very double, 
white water lily which is very fragrant. The most beauti- 
ful white hardy water lily in the world. We recommend 
this especially for the medium or large sized pool due 
to large leaves. $3.50. 
PURITY: Largest white hardy in the world. Have 
measured 834 inch blooms. Faintly pink on first day. A 
GIANT ROOT, $5.00. 
CHANGEABLE COLORS 
Here are three of the finest and most delicately colored 
lilies in our gardens. Every pool should have at least one 
of them. They open up a light color and grow darker 
through each successive day. Quite often one may see 
THREE DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT BLOOMS ON 
THE SAME FPLANT. All are very dependable and ex- 
tremely free flowering. 
ROBINSONI: Described on Page 6 under Reds. Can 
also be considered a changeable as it grows deeper with 
age. A GIANT ROOT, $4.00. 
COMANCHE: The orange water lily. It opens up a 
rich apricot and changes to a deep copper-orange as the 
flower ages (see color illustration on back cover). It has 
one of the longest blooming seasons of any lily, giving 
nearly five full months of bloom in this climate. A re- 
markable lily. A GIANT ROOT, $4.50. 
PAUL HARIOT: One of the finest of all hardy lilies. 
Very unusual coloring. An apricot-yellow, the first day, 
which gradually changes to a brilliant orange-pink by the 
third day. After the first day it closely RESEMBLES 
the TALISMAN ROSE in color. A very small leaf 
spread. Its habits make it especially suited for the tub 
garden or the small peel. Very free flowering. Do not 
overlook this cne! (Illustrated in color on Page 3.) A 
GIANT ROOT, $4.00. 
SPECIAL VALUE 
AURORA: The only PIGMY lily which we list. 
Very small leaves, roots, and flowers. It has the 
widest color range of any changeable. Opens 
apricot-yellow and changes to deep orange-red. 
Ideal for the Tub Garden or an odd corner of any 
pool. $3.00. (Illustrated in color on Page 22.)
