We again call the attention of all cultivators of flowers to the
above named plant, the same as our native white lily, except that
the flowers are of the color of the common wild rose.

Acknowledged by the best judges to be unsurpassed in beauty
& fragrance by any aquatic, native or foreign, these lilies are
in good demand at a great price wherever known.

We offer the plants for the coming season as follows, Viz. One
root for $ 3.50, two roots for $ 6.00, three roots for $ 8.00, six
roots for $ 15.00, and twelve roots for § 27.00. Larger numbers
at special rates. A liberal discount to the trade. All orders to be
accompanied with cash. When desired, we will send roots by mail
prepaid, but at buycr’s risk. Moa

The above prices are for strong plants, such as with fair
treatment ought to flower the first season. Careful to let no seed
mature, propagating only from the root, we have kept the variety
pure, and can warrant every plant true to color. ; a

As these lilies can be grown as easily as the white variety, in
either ponds or tubs; anyone can cultivate them, and enjoy the
exquisite pleasure of watching the developement of these rare
and attractive flowers. Address the original cultivators,

To a Pink Pond Lily.

What strange new joy has touched thy heart of
gold
Tinging thy petals with a rosy light?
Causing thy waxen leaves as they unfold,
With ecstacy to blush away their white?

Art flushed with thine own loveliness, or shy

- With wondering o’er thy new-born bloom?

Hast thou found happiness, or dost thou sigh
At-thy increase of beauty and perfume?

™~ os “

Was it the rapturous dawning of a love,
That warmed thy tint to such a radiant glow;
Bringing a message from the world above
To add new beauty to the world below?
Sara Jewett.

The Lily’s Answer.

‘*Would you find out my secret, fair Lady?
Would you know why I blush rosy red?

’Tis because when the dark night has left me
And [lift up my pale drowsy head,

Then the Prince of the Dawn comes to kiss me,
And that’s why I blush rosy red.”
