—"f (\HESE Are Thrift Times and in 
^- ' this catalog we have listed plants of 
the highest quality at prices as low or lower than 
ever offered before by any producer of aquatic 
plants. 
In addition to reducing prices we have prepared 
many special offers in the form of collections 
which are genuine bargains, —values which we 
know cannot be beat anywhere. 
Buy Wisely This Year 
There are many misleading price bargains set up these 
days in stores along roadsides, where quality and trueness 
to name are often forgotten. Anything goes to get the 
order. Many agencies selling plants are here today and 
gone tomorrow. We are always here to give you service 
and stand back of our goods. The standard of “highest 
quality” has always been sacred with us. In our many 
years as exclusive growers of aquatic plants we have passed 
through many periods of falling prices, but we have never 
lowered our standard of “highest quality” to meet the 
demand for cheap goods — and we never will! 
Old customers can re-order knowing they will get the 
same high values for less money. New customers can order 
with assurance that they will receive the finest aquatic 
plants that can be growm. By ordering from this catalog 
you get the pick from our many ponds containing several 
hundred thousand water lilies and other aquatic plants. 
Every plant you buy has to come from some nursery. It 
is to your advantage to secure your plants fresh from the 
grower. The extra cost of intermediate handling, when 
you do not buy direct, is passed on to you. Plants which 
are handled two or three times often become damaged and 
badly dried out. Our thrifty, healthy plants are taken 
fresh from our ponds at time of shipment and will reach 
you in perfect condition. Water lilies treated in this manner 
will bloom profusely soon after planting. We know you 
will be pleased with anything you order from RILEY’S 
WATER GARDENS. 
REMEMBER, we pay the postage on all orders of 
plants amounting to One Dollar or more.
