STAR LILIES 
THE HARDY TROPICAL 
WATER LILY 
We are most firmly convinced that these are the 
most satisfactory lilies for all purposes. They seem 
to thrive everywhere growing freely in small pools 
producing an endless succession of their beautiful 
starry flowers even when crowded. One may reason¬ 
ably expect 100 flowers a season. 
ROSE STAR. The starry, brilliant rose flowers are 
scented with the fragrance of Lily of the Valley and 
throughout the summer are produced in endless suc¬ 
cession. Often 4 to 5 flowers will be open at once, 
each from 5 to 8 inches across. You may replant the 
old tuber each year and it will send out new 
plants. $1.50. 
BLUE STAR. A gorgeous brilliant blue flower of 
great beauty. Plant Blue and Rose Star together in 
the same box. The color harmony is perfect. $1.50. 
RED STAR. A rosy wine red particularly vivid in 
late summer when the flowers become the most bril¬ 
liant objects in the pool. $1.95. 
PINK STAR. Satiny, silver pink blossoms with a 
golden heart. Handsome. $1.50. 
ORCHID STAR. A large flowered orchid pink 
blossom. Grand. $2.

HOW TO GROW STAR LILIES 
Star Lilies are shipped to you as sprouted tubers which quickly 
come into flower. The tubers when shipped are a year old having 
bloomed profusely the previous summer. Each tuber will give rise 
to from 1 to 3 crowns, each of which will flower freely. In plant¬ 
ing keep the sprouted end uppermost and cover lightly with a half 
inch of soil. Do not cover too deeply. Sink the box so it will be 
covered with 6 to 12 inches of water. See that they are not crowded 
out by the hardy lilies which start into growth before them. They 
will come to the surface when the water averages 68 degrees. 
To carry them over the winter the old tuber should be broken off 
from under the new plant during the fall and stored in a box of 
moist sand in a frost free cellar. Next year it will sprout again.

HARDY?-Yes Sir! 
WEATHERED 15° BELOW ZERO 
“Also it may interest you to know 
that the Star Trio wintered under 6" of 
ice in our pool with weather at 15° below 
zero.” 
MRS. RAY YOUNG, 
Kansas City, Mo. 
“The Star Lilies purchased from you 
a few years back have surpassed my 
greatest expectations. They have with¬ 
stood our coldest winters without being 
moved.” 
D. H. JOHNSON, 
Memphis, Tenn. 
To winter the new plants raise the box in which they are growing 
to the surface about September 1st to check growth and force them 
to form a hard dormant tuber. With the first light frosts remove to 
basement later washing out the tubers and store in sand. 
Star Lilies bloom most freely and are 
the best for cut flowers lasting for 
several days. The large leafed plant 
is Elephant Ear.
