"THE Mrs. C. W. Thomas—We pro- 
claim as the aristocrat of the pink 
waterlily family, a superb floral cre- 
ation, the Mrs. C. W. Thomas. It has 
been the aim of the owners of Three 
Springs Fisheries to keep abreast of 
the times. It is only by new and 
novel discovery and invention that 
progress is made in any line of busi- 
ness. We, like all who are really 
interested in this line, are ever seek- 
ing for something more beautiful, 
more delicate, more lovely, more 
glorious, more fragrant, in a word, 
for something better. All this and 
more, we have in the Mrs. C. W. 
Thomas, which is the acme of water- 
lily perfection. So much do we think 
of it that we have named it for and 
dedicated it to the memory of Mrs. 
C. W. Thomas, mother of G. L. 
Thomas, Sr., founder of our company 
and grandmother of G. L. Thomas, 
Jr.. present manager. Price $6.00

They tie in beautifully with 
plans for any occasion, the day 
bloomers remaining open during 
the early half of the day, the night 
bloomers unfolding about 7 P.M., 
just in time for dinner. And they 
retain their fresh, natural beauty 
under artificial light. 
The blooms can be kept open 
permanently if small drops of 
barely melted paraffine are ap- 
plied, by medicine dropper, to the 
lower extremeties of stamens, 
petals and sepals. The wax is 
sometimes tinted to match the 
lily’s hue.
