Zan. rosea). This is a superb and very rare variety of the blue, and like it in every respect except its color, which varies from rich pink to a deep rose, almost crimson in some speci- mens; the yellow stamens tipped with the same shade of red as the petals. Seeds, per packet, 25 cents. White Nigltt-Blooming Water Lily (N~. Dentata). This grand speciesopens its flowers at about 8 o'clock at night, remaining expanded until noon the next day. They are pure, pearly white, with petals expanded horizontally, so that the flowers are perfectly flat like a star, thus differing from all other varieties; odor most peculiar and agreeable. The seeds are longer in germina- ting than the others; but they are just as easy to raise. Seeds, per packet, 25 cents. One packet each of the three sorts for 65 cents. Nympliaea Odorata Gigantea. This is a gigantic form of the common White Water Lily. We have measured leaves of it which were twenty-two inches in diameter and flowers eight inches across. The leaves are very thick and heavy, and have their edges very curious- ly ruffled, and in some instances turned up, forming a rim after the manner of the wonderful Victoria Kegia. Flowers fragrant, pure white, with a golden yellow center, and of decided cup shape, giving it a very distinct appear- ance. Growing with the ordinary form of Nymphcea odo
