Tropic Lilies 
Tropic Lilies are hard to describe, as there is a splendor and majesty about them 
that is all their own. The gorgeous blossoms stand well above the surface of the 
water, sending out a perfume which permeates the whole yard. Their Tropical leaves 
and their immense flowers giving an air of superiority to the whole surroundings. They 
have the wonderful shades of blue and purple found in no other Lily, and there is such 
a wonderful variety to choose from, that any one can find just the Lily to fit their 
needs. Many of the varieties will adapt themselves either to large or small pools. 
We are equipped to send Lilies that have become used to the outdoor tempera¬ 
ture, and wherever possible Lilies will be shipped in bud. 
Tropic lilies should not be set out until the weather has become permanently warm, 
We keep in touch with weather conditions prevailing through the U. S. and ship 
only after the weather in your locality has reached a temperature of 70 degrees. 
Should we be instructed to ship earlier we do so at customer's risk.
