TROPICAL WATER LILIES 
Day Blooming and Night Blooming 
S uperlatives 
are not sufficiently 
d e s c r i p tive for 
these gorgeously 
beautiful Nymphaeas 
of the Lily Pool. One 
must see them to 
p r o p e r ly appreciate 
their beauty of colora¬ 
tion, perfection and 
variety of form and ever blooming habits. No other 
part of the garden will give you half the joy, the 
satisfaction or restful peace, if you wish, for twice 
the care that the Tropical Water Lily brings the 
water gardener. Their colors are those of the rain¬ 
bow, ranging as they do from palest ivory, pink, rose, 
red, lavender, pale blue, violet blue to deep royal 
purple. 
Tropical Water Lilies are so extremely adaptable 
that when confined in restricted quarters, such as a 
very small pool or tub, they send up a profusion of 
small blossoms, while if allowed about 20 to 25 square 
feet of pool surface they will reward with literally 
hundreds of large brilliantly colored blooms. 
Tropicals or tender Water Lilies do best after warm 
weather is established, therefore we ship strong, well 
grown plants after June the first. Bear in mind, how¬ 
ever, that this fact will not delay Shipment of the 
hardier plants which are sent as soon as the weather 
permits, which is usually from the first of May on, 
in the Northern states. 
The culture as before mentioned, is extremely 
simple. Tropical Water Lilies are planted as the 
Hardy Lilies, and since the plant is already well 
started, it makes extremely rapid growth, soon out¬ 
stripping the rest of the plants of the water kingdom 
and assuming its rightful heritage of aristrocratic and 
royal ruler of the water garden.
