Nymph^a Tuberosa Richardsoni. Tuberosa {syn. N. reniformis). Distinguished from N. odorata chiefly by the numerous slenderly-attached and spon- taneously separating tubers on the rhizome ; the leaves, which are deep green, frequently stand 8 to 10 inches out of the water when crowded or grown in shallow water; flowers vary from 4 to 9 inches across, pure white ; petals broad, concave, and produced in moderate quantity. The plant is a robust and luxuriant grower, spreading rapidly, and should not be planted in the same pond with moderate-growing varieties, or they may be crowded out. 20 cts. each; $ per doz. Tuberosa maxima (N. odorata maxima of Gardens). A form with round leaves, the lobes curved out at the apex to a short point, petioles pubescent with long hairs and a few faint brown longitudinal stripes; flowers medium to large, cup- shaped, pure white, with the strong aromatic fragrance of AT. odorata. Very free-flowering. 25 cts. each; $2-50 per doz. Tuberosa rosea. Flowers an exquisite shade of pink, stand- ing above the water; petals somewhat concave. A vigorous grower, but not so strong as the type, and does not produce tubers on the rhizomes as freely. 75 cts. each; $ per doz. Tuberosa Richardsoni. This variety is less vigorous than N. tuberosa. Flowers pure white and quite double, the stamens being converted into petals which are more or less fluted in the centre. The flowers stand well above the water; the sepals and outer petals drooping, forming a perfect globe. No variety in our Water Garden was admired by visitors more than this. The immense snowball-like flower, 8 inches in diameter, was declared to be the finest white Water Lily of all. (See cut.) 50 cts. each ; $ per doz. Nymph^a Robinsoni.
