STAR LILIES 
“This picture shows your Star Trio 
in bloom. Hardy Tropical Lilies sure¬ 
ly are great bloomers and most fra¬ 
grant. I can sincerely say I like them 
best above all other Water Lilies.” 
MRS. CARL ZIMMERMAN. 
“My Blue Star Hardy Tropical Lily 
did very well and bloomed heavily all 
summer with from 4 to 5 flowers at 
once. This year I have 5 bulbs which 
are already starting into growth.
