Tropic Lily Bulbs 
All of our Tropic lilies are easily grown from 
bulbs, or tubers. For anyone, this is a sure and 
easy way to have them, for they are sure to sprout 
and begin to bloom before you realize it. 
Our tubers are well cured and sprouted when 
shipped and when received should be put in a 
small pot and placed in a deep can of water. 
Place can in sunny window and shade the water 
by placing a cloth frame a foot or so above the 
water. Remove the cloth after a few leaves have 
appeared, and after several leaves have appeared, 
plant may be placed in large, permanent box. 
The tubers should not be planted out until weather 
has become permanently warm for the summer, 
but should you want to order them with hardy 
lilies, they may be kept in damp sand until plant¬ 
ing time. 
TUBERS SAME PRICE AS POTTED PLANTS. 
Special Hints on Tropic Lily Care 
The size of the blossoms of Tropic lilies depends 
on the soil and fertilizer. If the blossoms get small 
towards the end of the season take squares of soft 
paper (toilet paper is very satisfactory), put one 
tablespoonful of blood meal in square, push down 
well into the soil near plant; tear paper open. 
Allow four or five to each lily.

Leaf Propagating Tropics 
These lilies have the interesting habit of bearing small plants on the base of the 
leaves. They often bloom freely when still attached to the old leaf. They are also a trifle 
hardier than other Tropics, so may be planted somewhat earlier than some of the ten¬ 
der varieties. They are most interesting and everblooming. 
August Koch. The fragrant blossoms are of a 
splendid size and deep blue in color, the sepals 
a deep orchid color. It is a free bloomer and eas¬ 
ily established, coming into flower early and 
blooming continuously. We recommend this lily for 
the beginner, as it thrives with little attention $1.75 
Panama Pacific. One of the most popular day 
bloomers; flowers freely, we having as many as 
eight blooms on one plant at the same time. 
Flowers are a rich purple, the yellow stamens 
making a striking contrast. Suitable for a tub 
garden, as it will adapt itself to its environ¬ 
ment .............—$1.75 
Amethyst. This lily has true amethyst blue petals 
and pink sepals. Very large flowers, freely borne 
during the entire season. Then the small plants 
often bloom when still attached to the old leaves, 
making it a very interesting variety $1.75
