TAKE A TRIP TO TRICKERS . . 
at Saddle River, N. J. 
and Independence, Ohio 
C HARLES L. Tricker, Presi¬ 
dent of William Tricker, 
Inc., extends a personal in¬ 
vitation to every reader of this 
catalog to visit the Tricker 
Water Gardens at Saddle River, 
N. J., and Independence, Ohio. 
These Water Gardens hold a 
wealth of interest for everyone, 
whether he be a waterlily enthu¬ 
siast, a tropical fish fan or simply 
a lover of beautiful flowers. 
While this catalog, with its 
pictures and descriptions, will 
give you some idea of what you 
will see here, and the extensive 
proportions of our water gar¬ 
dens, it cannot possibly reveal 
the pleasure you are sure to have if you come and 
see us and ramble leisurely through our display 
houses and around our pools. At Saddle River, 
N. J., there are 17 acres devoted to growing pools, 
greenhouses and display rooms. At Independence, 
Ohio, there is a very fine show room where all varieties 
of ornamental fish are attractively displayed, also, extensive 
greenhouses, show pools and many other interesting' sights. 
During the lily blooming season the masses of lily blooms 
at both plants are an inspiration to everyone who views 
them. We urge you to make a visit at any time. Many 
come on Saturdays and Sundays.

A Personal Message from CHARLES L. TRICKER 
Dear Friends: 
I have tried very hard to make this our most interesting, complete and helpful catalog. 
Whether you are just starting out to make a water garden or have had a pool for several 
years, you will find this catalog a most useful guide to everything for the water garden. 
This year we have a particularly fine stock of lilies, plants and fishes and we know you 
will be pleased with everything we send you. In spite of higher labor costs and shorter 
working hours, both of which influence the price of lilies, we are able to make our new 
offerings at practically the same prices as in 1933, which were the lowest prices in our 
history. 
With one shipping point in the east and one in the middle west, we can give you ex¬ 
cellent service. It is natural that we should feel we have the best of everything to offer 
you but we want you to be the judge. Send us your order early and see if Tricker stock and 
service is not the finest you have ever obtained. 
Thanking you for the patronage which makes this service 
possible, I am 
Respectfully yours, 
Pres.
