Tricker's "Praefecta" Fertilizer 
The Best Plant Food for Lilies 
After years of experimental work in our laboratory 
we perfected a scientifically prepared chemical ferti¬ 
lizer, our Praefecta, excellent for water lilies and 
aquatic plants. It can also be used for any other form 
of flowers and perennials with excellent results. Mix 
one quart with each three bushels of soil, or use a 
small amount any time to feed plants. Apply it to 
water lilies and aquatic plants as per instructions 
given on the containers. It will stimulate the growth 
of plants, which will bloom more profusely with 
larger flowers. 
REFERTILIZE lilies and aquatics three or four 
times during the growing season. For every bushel 
of soil, wrap one handful of Praefecta in cheese 
cloth or tissue paper and insert in soil close to the roots of the 
plants without moving the containers.
