Tropica Water Lil ies 
T_ lilies provide twenty-four hours of continuous 
bloom each day from settled weather in spring until fall. They adapt them- 
[ selves to the largest Pools or the smallest Tub-Gardens, the size of flowers 
i alone being affected depending on the amount of soil and water surface pro¬ 
vided. We ship only mature, potted plants, many already in flower, which 
produce fully developed plants giving a wealth of bloom in a surprisingly 
short time after setting out. 
Tropical Lilies are of two distinct types: the Dayblooming Lilies, whose 
flowers open with the sun and close at evening, and the Nightblooming Lilies, 
whose flowers open in the afternoon and remain open until late the following 
morning. For constant succession of bloom the Tropical Lilies are unexcelled. 
Tropical Lily blossoms stand above the water in contrast to Hardy Lily flowers, 
which float. Set Tropical Lilies out in boxes 18 inches to 2 feet square and a 
foot deep, submerge 8 to 10 inches, and allow from 8 to 20 square feet of 
water-surface, for best results. They may be set out when settled weather is 
assured, which, in the latitude of New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleveland, 
and St. Louis, is about the end of May.
