Novelty Supplement. THE NEW PINK WATER LILY. Nymphaea Odorato Rosea. The famous Pink Water Lily is the grandest acquisition ever made to our list of hardy Nym- phceas. It possesses all the desirable qualities of the white flowered species, —hardiness, freedom of bloom, and delicious fragrance, with the added charm of a deep pink color, a shade somewhat like the rose, called "; The flowers average a larger size than the white, and are in great demand in the large cities and at watering- places during their season. Its lovely pink flowers are worthy of a place beside the most costly exotics. May be successfully grown in a tub, and wintered in a cellar. Does well in one of the beds in the Lily tank, but a more satis- factory way than either is to naturalize it in a pond, or slow-running stream. Do not tie a stone to it and sink it, as many recommend, but push it carefully into the mud with the hands or feet. Where the mud is very rich, it will produce flowers six inches, and leaves thirteen inches across. We unhesitatingly pronounce this the most lovely and desirable of all the hardy Water Lilies, and we are happy to be able to offer good roots this season at a greatly reduced price. Last season the roots sold at from to each.
