FIVE LOVELY 
HARDY LILIES 
(Collection No. H-l I) 
T HIS year we have an unusually 
fine collection of hardy lilies with 
low prices prevailing. We feel sure 
there is no other collection which of¬ 
fers 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 blossoms 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 
liles has become so much in demand it is difficult to maintain 
a constant supply of each variety throughout the season. 
Turn to page 18 for hardy lilies especially desirable for grow¬ 
ing in tubs or small pools. Special low priced collections of 
hardy water lilies and other water plants are listed on page 21.

"EASY TO SUCCEED WITH TRICKER 
LILIES" 
“With your ‘How to Build a Pool’ I con¬ 
structed a pool as per instructions on Page 
8. Everything, even as to fishes, lilies and 
landscaping, is now complete, and I like it 
better because I did all the work myself at 
odd times. All the materials for the pool 
cost me less than $8.00, but of course I 
accumulated the small stone and some of 
the sand myself. My pool is 4*4 ft. x 6 ft. 
on outside. I used brick, laying them down 
flat, for the top. 
“The Medium Sized Pool Collection No. 
B-2 was entirely satisfactory, and I want 
to compliment you on the large size fishes 
you sent me. They show up mighty pretty, 
swimming around in the pool. Also your 
Collection No. H-5, the Marliac Trio of 
Water Lilies, and the one Comanche, as 
well as the free plants, came through o.k. 
Next spring I expect my pool to be the 
prettiest place in my garden. Yours truly,” 
S. C. Wardrip, Charlottesville, Va. 
Please Note 
While this catalog lists everything you need for a charming 
pool, naturally we cannot begin to find space here for descrip¬ 
tions of all the lovely Water Lilies we grow. Write us for de- 
s'riptions and prices of any lilies you wish that you do not find 
listed here. 
This is a picture of one of the pools described in the 
following letter: “Enclosed are pictures of two of the 
nine pools I have in my gardens. My pools are all planted 
with Tricker lilies and water plants. I have fifteen vari¬ 
eties of water lilies, all good bloomers, having from thirty 
to sixty blooms daily, throughout the season. Results with 
Tricker lilies have been so satisfactory that I would not 
chance getting them elsewhere. Sincerely,” E. F. Hoffelt, 
Estelline, S.Dak.
