TROPICAL WATER LILIES 
For Beauty, Fragrance, and 
Romance 
Tropical Lilies are the pride of the water garden 
owner, the joy of his family and friends. They suggest 
far-away tropics and exotic bloom. Only in the Trop¬ 
icals can you get the exquisite shades of blue. We offer 
both Day-Blooming and Night-Blooming varieties. 
In the long summer evenings, after the hardy Water 
Lilies and the Day-Blooming varieties have gone to 
rest, the Night Bloomers show forth in exquisite 
beauty, especially if an electric light is installed over 
the pool. You will never forget the joy of evenings 
spent beside a well-planted Lily pool. Make your selec¬ 
tion from the outstanding varieties offered here. All 
have been thoroughly tested in our own Water Gar¬ 
dens and found dependable.
