THREE SPRINGS FISHERIES —LILYPONS 
HARDY WATER LILIES 
-^iinjr.onjH j|i-i 
r T'HERE is indeed a large class of many colors of Hardy Water Lilies. There is every 
known color and every tint or shade to be found among the Hardy Water Lilies. These 
plants grow equally well whether in a pool or in tub, or in a quiet stream. Just a foot of 
water or so over the crown, together with sunshine, is all that is necessary. We have the 
purest Whites, all the various shades of Pinks, the dark Red to a bright Red, Yellow, and 
the Changeable colors. 
If you wish the fragrant, sweet smelling lilies, you should choose those of the Odorata 
type, or those which are described as being fragrant. The Hardy Lilies offered are all day 
bloomers. They open in the early morning and close every afternoon. 
UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND STATE HORTICULTURAL DEPARTMENT 
Certificate of Inspection 
THIS IS TO CERTIFY, That on the 25th day of August, 1936, we examined the Nursery Stock of Three Springs Fisheries at 
Lilypons, Maryland, and that said nurseries and premises are apparently free, so far as can be determined by inspection, from 
the San Jose Scale, Peach Yellows, Pear Blight and other dangerously injurious insect pests and plant diseases. 
THIS CERTIFICATE is valid until September 1, 1937, unless sooner revoked, and does not include nursery stock not grown 
within this State, unless such stock is previously covered by Certificate and accepted by the State Entomologist and State Pathologist. 
Ernest N. Cory, State Entomologist.

In buying Hardy Water Lilies you should buy those which are acclimated to the climate—not lilies from the hothouse or 
from the semi-tropics. It is a well-known fact that any hardy lilies grown in a section with freezing weather will grow in the tropics, 
but lilies acclimated to the tropics or semi-tropics will perish when transplanted to a colder section. Buy from us and be safe. 
We guarantee each and every root.
