TROPICAL 
WATER 
LILIES 
Tropicals will make your pool distinctive 
BECAUSE . . 
. . No others are so large 
and exquisite • • 
The exotic splendor of tropical flowers is typified in 
the tropical water lily. Those who visit our show pools 
marvel at the size, the abundance of blooms and the 
gorgeous colors of Tricker’s tropicals. It is hard to 
believe that a flower could be so lovely until one sees 
a pool where tropical lilies grow. When given a chance 
they surpass all other lilies in size and abundance of 
bloom. 
. • Only Tropicals have those 
heavenly blue shades • • 
• • Only Tropicals are open 
during evening hours • • 
One does not need to travel to India and visit a gar¬ 
den of an oriental potentate at night to enjoy the most 
exquisite of all flowers. The night blooming tropical 
water lily of the oriental gardens can be grown right in 
your own yard and enjoyed during the evening hours 
which are the most delightful hours of the summer day. 
Include one of these rare types in your order of day 
blooming water lilies and insure for yourself 24 hours 
of bloom each day. 
• • No others are as easy to grow 
or flower so abundantly • • 
No rainbow would be complete or 
out its shades of blue, and this is 
equally true of a planting of water 
lilies. ' But it is possible to secure 
the rainbow blues only in the tropi¬ 
cals. Nature alone could produce 
such a delightful range of colors 
from the pale campanula blue 
through true blues, lavenders and 
purples; each and every one fairly 
enchanting, all so appealing it is 
difficult to decide on any as a fa¬ 
vorite. 
as beautiful with- Sun 
and warmth, water and earth, are all tropical 
lilies need to grow richly and abun¬ 
dantly. Give them room for their 
leaves to spread and plenty of soil 
for their roots and they will sur¬ 
pass anything you may imagine or 
desire in flowers. Under these con¬ 
ditions there will always be several 
flowers on each plant in bloom at 
once, like a number of jewels in a 
single mounting. They bloom al¬ 
most immediately after planting 
and continue all summer until 
frost. 
. . Tropicals are 
best for cutting • • 
Water lilies are as pleasing in¬ 
doors as out. Their mysterious 
fragrance will fill the room. But 
for a truly charming bouquet there 
are none which satisfy quite like 
the tropicals. Their long, firm 
stems permit easy handling and 
bouquet arrangement in erect vases. 
Tropicals provide something differ¬ 
ent and unusual in cut flowers. Try 
them and see. 
An attractive bouquet of tropical lilies 
m m No other flower 
has a fragrance so 
delightful • • 
Many flowers are awarded im¬ 
portant places in our gardens even 
if they do not have fragrance, but 
true to their oriental origin, tropi¬ 
cal lilies possess a most charming 
perfume which gives them just an¬ 
other quality of desirability—a 
quality not necessary but one that 
will add to your enjoyment.
