This Year—Buy at least one of these 
Wyatef cJLiiies 
E ach year this group of magnificent flowers becomes 
more popular. Garden lovers often strive hard with 
other plants to receive their reward of only a few 
flowers. Here what rich rewards await the Water Gar¬ 
dener! These plants are the Aristocrats of the Water 
Garden; their numerous flowers the most gorgeous of all 
aquatics, and success always follows when simple require¬ 
ments are fulfilled. See our planting instructions. 
There is no Hardy blue water lily, but there are many 
blue Tropicals. These are the so-called “Tender” lilies of 
vivid color. Being natives of the Tropics, they cannot survive 
frost and winters in our climate, but bloom wonderfully dur¬ 
ing the Summer. They are supplied AFTER JUNE 1st as 
potted plants and are best treated as annuals, to be replaced 
yearly. They bear their flowers on stout stems well above 
water, are very free flowering, and may be used as cut 
flowers. (Flowers open and close each day.) They will bloom 
steadily from the middle of June until frost. 
Buy at least one Tropical water lily for your pool! Even 
though you consider it an annual and that it will last but 
one season, you will be rewarded with many exotic flowers 
from June until frost! Our Tropical Lilies are all strong 
plants and we are sure they will please you. 
This photograph shows the wealth of gorgeous flowers which are 
produced by the flne Tropical Water Lilies. Notice also how the flowers 
stand proudly above the water.
