TRICKER'S 
I want you to have marvelous success with water lilies this year and 
have a really beautiful pool. That is why I put so much emphasis on 
planting water lilies that you can be sure are the highest quality plants 
grown. 
Many customers write me every year that they have never seen such 
fine plants as they received from us. Our tropical lilies are grown in 
5-inch pots. This means you get big, vigorous heavy rooted plants, 
many of which bloom immediately if the weather is warm when you set 
them out. Our hardy lilies are not marketed until they reach a size 
that will produce most satisfactory results. 
And every lily you order from us is guaranteed to grow. We make 
this liberal guarantee so you will have every assurance of success. 
This year we have a marvelous selection of varieties for you to 
choose from—the world’s largest list of varieties, in fact. And the 
prices are reasonable, too, considering the extra size and vigor of 
Tricker’s plants. 
I want to thank the many customers for the orders sent us last year, 
which business is sincerely appreciated. We hope to serve you again 
this season, and pledge ourselves to give you the best of service and 
to maintain quality shipments with every order. 
Wishing you success with your lily pool 
remain 
Sincerely yours, 
and water gardening,

INTRODUCTORY 
OFFER 
In order to acquaint people 
with the exquisite beauty of tropi¬ 
cal lilies, I am going to make a 
rather unusual offer. If you have 
never had tropical lilies but have 
a pool of hardy lilies, and will 
send me one of your hardy lily 
plants and $1.00, I will send you 
a beautiful Blue Beauty Tropical 
Lily, valued at $2.00, at the 
proper planting time. 
Do not send me more than 
one hardy lily, for only one 
Blue Beauty Tropical Lily will be 
furnished to each buyer on this 
$1.00 exchange basis. This offer 
is made merely to give you the 
opportunity to enjoy the unusual 
beauty of tropical lilies at a very 
nominal price. 
The clump of hardy lilies you 
send should be washed free of all 
soil, packed carefully, and sent 
either postpaid or express prepaid 
to whichever of our plants is 
nearest to your home. No wild 
water lilies such as Hopatcong or 
Odorata will be accepted for ex¬ 
change with this offer. If you 
never have tried tropical lilies, 
here is an unusual chance for a 
trade that is well worth consider¬ 
ing.
