| LUCIDA [. 
be This variety, introduced into the U. S. in the Hardy W ater Lilies 
early 1900’s, is still considered one of the best 
hardy red water lilies. It is smooth, rosy red, 
clear and evenly colored, with petals of a cool, 
pleasing transparency. Color does not change 
appreciably from day to day. Leaves are pur- FULVA 
plish, and spread very little. Long season, pro- 
lific bloom. $5.00. The Fulva is one of the fascinating water lilies 
which come under the heading of changeable. The 
blooms of this flower are open and cup-shaped. 
The inner petals of the bloom range in color from 
an off-yellow to a light shade of coppery red, 
which is spotted with sulphur. The sepals are 
basically a sulphur color, stained purple. The 
foliage is an interesting study in rich green, 
heavily stained and spotted with purple. $7.50. 
ODORATA ROSEA 
Odorata Rosea is probably better known to most 
people as the Cape Cod pink water lily. Its flow- 
ers, about four inches in diameter, are a beautiful 
shade of rose-pink at the tips of the petals, deep- 
ening to intense pink at the center of the bloom. 
Its stamens are of pure yellow. It is a fragrant 
flower, with dark, reddish-green leaves. $5.00. 
WILLIAM DOOGUE 
DAWN This pretty variety, developed in this country, is 
remarkable for the extreme breadth of its petals 
and their stout substance. The blossom is im- 
mense, a cup-shaped bloom of delicate shell-pink, 
passing to a refreshing blush of white. The sepals 
are deep pink and slightly incurving. The flower 
requires a bit more room to grow than some 
species, but if given the necessary space it will 
thrive and bloom freely all season. $4.00. 
One of the great features of this beautiful variety 
is its continuity of flowering from May to October. 
Its flowers are large and globular, a delicate 
white in color. One of the largest lilies intro- 
duced. Also one of the most deliciously scented 
lilies in our stock. Made available to our cus- 
tomers for the first time this year. $10.00. 
RADIANCE 
The Radiance is an old, old friend which we 
have long considered the most desirable of all 
our fragrant water lilies. It is a brilliant pink 
in color—often described as a deep cerise— 
with a cluster of golden yellow stamens in the 
center. It is the structure of the flower, how- 
ever, which appeals to many water lily fan- 
ciers. It is a large flower, often producing a 
bloom 7 inches in diameter. Its petals are 
pointed and have a slight curl, which gives the 
effect of a darker shading at the edges. De- 
spite all its delicate beauty, it is a healthy 
flower, and one of our best bloomers. $3.50.
