NYMPH/EA GRACILIS. A Mexican variety of great merit, being the only white day- blooming tropical variety under cultivation; is worthy of special interest. The flower is white; stamens rich golden yellow. A very distinct and free flowering variety, the flowers standing well above the water, and possessing a delicate fragrance resem- bling Lily of the Valley. § each. NYMPH/EA GIGANTEA. N. Gigantea is one of the handsomest of Nymphseas, the color being a satiny blue, shading to white, with yellow silk-like stamens. The leaves are dentated, green above, and bright pur- ple beneath. It is very impatient of root disturbance, and often a check from some unknown cause will result in the plant form- ing a tuber and resting for an indefinite period. A most desir- able Nymphasa, and one of the very best in cultivation. $2 50 each. Extra-sized flowering plant $ each. NYMPH/EA MEXICANA. A valuable addition to this class of Nymphaeas, closely resem- bling N. Flava. The flowers are rich golden yellow, five inches in diameter; produced freely through the season until frost. New Mexico. 50 cts. each. NYMPH/EA PULCHERRIMA. (New.) The flowers of this handsome variety are of the largest size— ten to twelve inches in diameter—of a bright violet hue, resem- bling in color those of N. Gigantea, excepting the bases of the petals and the stamens, which are deep yellow. The buds are long, pointed, and irregularly striped
