Nurseries (Horticulture) Florida Catalogs; Tropical plants Catalogs; Fruit trees Seedlings Catalogs; Citrus fruit industry Catalogs; Fruit Catalogs; Plants, Ornamental Catalogs. V. Aquatics. '' —The long stems Whose flowers the zvater, like a gentle nurse— Bears on its bosom" * * # -:<- —N. P. Willis. ACORUS Calamus. The well-known Sweet Flag. Will grow to perfection in Florida. 25 cents. EICHHORNIA crassipes. The Water Hyacinth. A very interesting plant, which floats on the surface of the water until nearly ready to bloom, when the roots enter the soil, if in shal- low water. The flowers are borne on spikes like a hyacinth, and are of a variety of shades (yellow center, lilac or blue petals), two inches across. Simply magnificent! A supply of flowers is constant during growing weather. The leaves form neat rosettes, and their petioles are curiously thickened and filled with air-cells, which enable the plant to float. 15 cents each, $1 per dozen. E. azurea. A rare new species, just introduced. Does not float, like preceding, but roots firmly to the soil. Should be in 4 or 5 inches of water to do the best. Flowers smaller than in E. crassipes, but very rich blue. 50 cents each. LIMNOCHARIS Humboldtii. The Water Poppy. South America. Flowers pale yellow, 3 petalled, 3 inches in diameter. They open in the morning, and last all day. Continually in bloom, and succeeds anywhere, in pond or tub. 20 cents each. NELUMBIUM speciosum. The Sacred Lotus of the East. Succeeds well in a mud-bottomed pond or in a tub. Grows well in many Florida ponds and lakes. A hardy plant anywhere in the United States. Has lovely pink flowers ; scented. 75 cents Xymphcea alba odor at Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Royal
