Greetings to Our Many Thousands 
of Old and New Friends 
We have made so many new friends during the years we 
have been in the Water Lily business that we can no longer 
count them by the thousands—today we count them by the 
Tens of Thousands! 
Each season we have been compelled to expand until, 
today, we are easily the largest water gardens in the world! 
The reason for this unusual growth, we believe, is our 
Nature saves us many thousands of dollars each year, 
which we pass along to you. Our free-running 
Artesian Wells run 24 hours a day, 365 days in the 
year, without cost. Besides, the huge volume of our 
Hardy Water Lily plantings and sales—largest in existence today—justify a minimum margin. 
Highest Quality 
Ideal climatic conditions cause our Hardy 
Lilies to "go dormant’’ by natural process. 
WE DO NOT FORCE OUR PLANTS! 
Hence, we are able to offer you HEALTH¬ 
IER, HARDIER plants. We guarantee all Hardy Lilies to bloom ABSOLUTELY TRUE TO NAME. 
Located almost in the center of the United States/ 
we can make prompt deliveries to all parts of 
the country. Only expert, long-experienced men 
select and pack our plants. Only strong, vigor¬ 
ous plants are shipped. We maintain, for your service, an experienced Information Department. 
Prompt answers given to your questions. 
Better Service 
Guaranteed 
We positively guarantee that all plants are 
true to name—and are in good condition when 
shipped. If any plants are not in good condition, 
upon receipt, return them immediately for new 
shipment. 
Order Early 
Ordering early will enable us to make prompt 
shipments, as we are desirous of doing. By May 
and early June our facilities are taxed to the 
utmost. You will avoid any delay by sending 
your order promptly. 
fixed policy of giving every customer Greater Value than he
