TRSCKER'S Hardy WATER LILIES 
Low Prices still prevail—You will be 
pleased with the quality of Tricker plants 
Note: All lilies are sent prepaid. 
HIS year we have an unusually fine 
collection of hardy lilies with low 
prices prevailing. We feel sure 
there is no other collection which 
offers such a fine array of colors 
and types in the fine quality plants 
for which Tricker is noted. 
Everyone loves the hardy lilies. Their lovely blos¬ 
soms open just above the surface of the water or float 
gently on it. The leaf stems adjust to the water’s depth. 
If the water is lowered the bud stems twist to keep the 
bud under water until ready to open. Opening and 
closing takes one hour each and is an hour later and 
earlier on the first day open. 
Hardy lilies are equally at home in concrete pools, 
half barrels, or tubs; and with a little care to prevent 
actual freezing of the roots, their beauty and fragrance 
may be enjoyed year after year. Lack of experience 
will not interfere with results, as water lilies “just 
grow” when provided with sunlight, rich soil and warm, 
shallow water. 
We urge you to order early to avoid disappointment, 
if you want certain definite varieties of these fine 
plants. This class of lilies has become so much in de¬ 
mand it is difficult to maintain a constant supply of 
each variety throughout the season. 
PINK, ROSE AND SALMON SHADES 
MORNING GLORY. Opening early in the morning, it has glorious 
size and color and exquisite fragrance that is almost sublime. 
The color of the flower is a delicate shell and almost white at the 
petal tips, shading deeper toward the center of the flower. The 
long blooming season of Morning Glory, its flowers of lasting quality 
“THIRTY-SIX BLOOMS OUT AT ONE TIME.” 
“Dear Sirs: At one time this summer, we had thirty-six blossoms 
out at the same time. 
“We find Gloriosa (see picture above) a very prolific bloomer 
It has not had less than seven blooms at any time this summer. 
“Gonnere has been the pride of our pool. The blooms are at least 
seven inches in diameter. 
“Hoping that you may care to use this picture of our pool, I am 
Very truly yours, Mrs. J. Crawford Calflisch, 65 E. High St. 
Union City, Pa.” 
“LILIES RECEIVED SATURDAY—FLOWERS ON MONDAY.” 
“Dear Sirs: Am sending you a picture of my two lily pools. I 
received a Blue Beauty and Frank Trelease lily from you on Satur¬ 
day afternoon. On Monday I had a bloom and there hasn’t been 
hardly a day since, that I haven’t had blooms. Am certainly well 
pleased with my lilies. Blue Beauty in bloom in the picture. 
“We built the rough pool ourselves (see picture above), and it 
didn’t cost but about $3.00 to build it. Have had lots more pleasure 
out of it than what it cost. Yours respectfully, Mrs. Guy Spaulding, 
611 Hackberry, Salem, Indiana.” 
when cut, and its robust growth, give this lily a full rounded un¬ 
surpassed perfection. (Illustrated in color on page 25.) $2.50. 
PINK OPAL. A new variety that has excellence of flower and 
superior habit that determines the favorite. In color, it is a 
deep, rich pink. The buds are almost round and open into a flower 
of interesting form with comparatively short petals carried above 
the water. Valuable for cutting. Pink Opal does splendidly in tubs. 
$1.50. 
ROSE AREY. The flowers, a deep-cerise pink, sometimes reach 8 
inches in diameter. The petals are pointed and have a notice¬ 
able curl that gives the effect of darker shading near the edges. We 
consider Rose Arey one of the best of the Odorata type; a delight¬ 
ful surprise awaits you. (See colored illustration on page 17.) $1.75. 
NEPTUNE. An exceedingly free flowering variety of French origin. 
The lovely flowers seem to be made of velvet. Deep pink is the 
predominating color, the base of the petals being suffused with a 
darker shade of pink, and the tips of the petals are much lighter. 
Garnet stamens make a delightful contrast. $2.50. 
ESMERALDA. A French variety, quite unique in that its flowers 
are beautifully variegated, being rose pink and white. The 
petals are sharply pointed and the sepals are white streaked with 
rose. Quite desirable and different. $2.50. 
LUCIDA. Lovely star-shaped flowers of soft rose. (For complete 
description see page 13.) $2.50.
