Listed According to Color 
indicates the leaf propagating varieties. All of this group 
have the interesting characteristic of, occasionally, producing 
young plants on the surface of the leaves. Often these plants 
develop to a sufficient extent that they bear small flowers. 
Some of the viviparous varieties are much more prolific in this 
manner than others. 
BLUE 
COL. LINDBERGH (A true blue). This has enormous flowers with wide 
petals of deep caerulean shade which surpass all the other blue nym- 
phaeas in size, fragrance, color and beauty. As the name implies, the flowers 
tower in the air high above the water. The leaves are large and oval and 
pleasingly marbled with brown on top and flaked with purple and brown 
blotches beneath. We offered Col. Lindbergh as our finest contribution for 
the season of 1929. $2. 
S the name signifies, this group of tropical water lilies 
keep about the same open hours as their hardy sisters 
and bring to the daylight hours the same elegance 
that the night-bloomers furnish at evening. They are open 
from early morning until middle or late afternoon. 
Although tropical lilies will winter in greenhouse pools, 
the splendid bloom from young, vigorous plants more than 
offsets the slight extra cost of new plants each year. 
Tropical lilies have been a specialty with us for many years. 
We offer the only complete collection of the most desirable 
colors. Our extensive growing facilities enable us to fill 
every order with large healthy growing plants, unusually 
sturdy and superior, from five inch pots, all guaranteed to 
grow. Read our liberal guarantee, page 2. 
HOW TO GROW TROPICAL LILIES 
Plant tropical lilies only after warm weather is assured. 
In the latitude of New York City and Cleveland, Ohio, this is 
early June. The size of the bloom depends greatly upon the 
room given the plant, the amount of soil and the warmth of 
the summer. The quantity of flow¬ 
ers produced is really remarkable— 
we have had plants that produced 
over 100 flowers in a single season. 
These lilies adapt themselves' to any 
amount of soil and will thrive and 
bloom in the tub garden, but of 
course, the flowers will be smaller. 
They are best suited for artificial 
pools, and a box of soil 2 feet square 
by 1 foot deep is none too much to 
provide for each plant. Our special 
cedar tubs are just right as contain¬ 
ers. Allow a surface space at least 
5 feet by 5 feet. For an unusual dis¬ 
play, place two plants in a 3 foot 
box and allow a little more surface 
space. See also cultural directions 
opposite page 16. 
HENRY SHAW (Pring 1922). This lily is a beautiful campanula-blue color 
and has stamens of lemon-chrome tipped with light campanula-blue. It 
is a moderate grower, a free bloomer, and has a delightful fragrance. It is 
an excellent day blooming variety that has been named in honor of the 
founder of the Missouri Botanical Gardens. A beautiful lily. $1.50. 
TRICKER’S WORLD'S 
BLUE BEAUTY (or Pennsylvania). Deep blue flowers a foot across and 
produced very freely. The yellow stamens form a pleasing contrast to 
the petals. Sepals marked with purple lines and dots. The leaves are slightly 
speckled with brown above; beneath the ground color is red-purple at the 
edge, shading to pale green centers. Desirable in a small pool or tub. Very 
choice but popularly priced. (See colored illustration page 8.) Our best 
seller. $2.00.
