4. YOU GET BETTER RESULTS 
BIGGER VALUES—LOWER PRICES 
Water plants cannot be judged on the basis of price alone. Care¬ 
ful buyers will consider quality as well. With thousands of satisfied 
customers, many of whom reorder from us year after year, we can 
say without exaggeration that you get greater values and lower 
prices, quality considered, when you order from Tricker’s. With such 
completely adequate facilities for growing fine plants on an immense 
scale we can maintain the highest standard of the industry at fair 
prices. 
While we cannot guarantee your results, we do guarantee to send 
you the finest of young, vigorous plants and deliver them to you in 
perfect condition for planting. Were this not the case, our business 
would not have increased through the years as it has. Give a Tricker 
lily the proper conditions in which to grow and you are bound to get 
better results. We cannot afford to jeopardize our business by send¬ 
ing out anything that is not up to the standard of Tricker quality 
which is known around the world.

MORE VARIETIES TO SELECT FROM 
5. 
SHIPPED JUST AT THE RIGHT TIME 
Being the oldest and largest water lily growers in the nation, we 
are able to offer at all times not just the common varieties of hardy 
lilies but the best of the more unusual sorts, many of which are very 
low priced and not available elsewhere. With our many acres under 
glass we produce the largest collection of tropical lilies grown in 
this country. These many and varied offerings win for us hundreds 
of new friends yearly. 
3. AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT 
Early orders get preference, of course. These are always shipped 
at a time when it is safe to plant. We find that many people in the 
north, where late frosts prevail, want to plant their lilies too early, 
especially tropicals. Delay in shipment is often due to our desire 
to protect you from disappointment due to this condition. Order early 
and let as exercise our judgment when to ship and you will receive 
your lilies at a safe time to plant them. 
6. EVERYTHING ON ONE ORDER 
While we cannot claim never to run short on some varieties toward 
the end of the season, we can claim that you will avoid disappoint¬ 
ment and get each and every variety of plant you select if you order 
early. And when you get your lilies, you will find that they are true 
to type and color of the variety named and not some poor substitute. 
There is nothing you can possibly need to plant or care for in your 
water garden that is not available at Tricker's. You do not have to 
shop around trying to find this and that- Your year’s supplies can 
be on one order, shipped at one time, all of which is a great con¬ 
venience to you.
