TRICKER'S WINTER-TESTED 
HARDY WATER LILIES 
IJoung Vigorous dRoots Quaran- 
teed to Grow—No Worn-Out Stock 
■—7 HIS year we have an unusually fine collection of 
/ hardy lilies with low prices prevailing. We feel 
^ sure there is no other collection which offers such 
a fine array of colors and types in the fine quality 
plants for which Tricker is noted. 
Everyone loves the hardy lilies. Their lovely blos¬ 
soms open just above the surface of the water or float 
gently on it. The leaf stems adjust to the water’s depth. 
If the water is lowered the bud stems twist to keep the 
bud under water until ready to open. Opening and 
closing takes one hour each and is an hour later and 
earlier on the first day open. 
Hardy lilies are equally at home in concrete pools, 
half barrels, or tubs; and with a little care to prevent 
actual freezing of the roots, their beauty and fragrance 
may be enjoyed year after year. Lack of experience 
will not interfere with results, as water lilies “just 
grow” when provided with sunlight, rich soil and warm, 
shallow water. 
We urge you to order early to avoid disappointment, 
if you want certain definite varieties of these fine 
plants. This class of lilies has become so much in de¬ 
mand it is difficult to maintain a constant supply of 
each variety throughout the season.

MASANIELLO. Some years ago we introduced this splendid French 
Hybrid but all too soon our stock was sold out. Lately it has 
received much attention and we are again offering this fine variety. 
Its cup-shaped flowers are pink dotted with carmine and have a most 
pleasing fragrance. A free bloomer and very desirable. Special, 
indeed at $1.50. 
ROSE AREY. The flowers, a deep-cerise pink, sometimes reach 8 
inches in diameter. The petals are pointed and have a notice¬ 
able curl that gives the effect of darker shading near the edges. We 
consider Rose Arey one of the best of the Odorata type ; a delight¬ 
ful surprise awaits you. (See colored illustration on page 12.) $1.50. 
MARLIAC FLESH. A vigorous variety ; flowers large, of soft flesh- 
pink, deepening towards base of petals ; fragrant and produced 
freely and continuously through the season. Desirable and hand¬ 
some. $1.00. 
MARLIAC ROSE. It is sometimes difficult to select the best among 
so many pink lilies, but the Marliac Rose is distinctive and well 
worth while. The sepals and the flower center are a deep pink 
which shades imperceptibly to a delicate rose at the petal tips. This is 
one of the best lilies for cutting. Large, fragrant and lasting. 
It is highly pleasing. (See color illustration on page 13.) $1.50. 
FIRE CREST. Another recent American variety. Flowers are very 
fragrant Upon opening, the petals are a deep pink and the 
flower opens wide, leaving the stamens standing quite erect. The 
tips of the stamens are colored fire-red, thus giving the flower a 
very unique appearance. $2. 
Dqcp MAGNOLIA. Flowers of an exquisite shade of pink. 4 to 5 
inches across, standing well out of the water. 75c.
