Hardy Water Lilies 
Plant these exquisite Hardy Lilies for early 
flowers and your main planting, using the 
more exotic Tropical Lilies for accent pur¬ 
poses. Their blossoms float on the water or 
are lifted on short stems. Give them rich 
garden loam and use boxes 15 inches to 2 feet 
square and a foot deep. 
As they begin flowering keep the older, 
yellowed leaves pulled off, giving the fresh 
young ones room to expand. This will extend 
their blooming season all summer long. For 
big flowers give them a small handful of fer¬ 
tilizer poked about their roots every 3 weeks.

2-YEAR-OLD HARDY LILIES 
SELECTED STOCK ONLY IS SHIPPED 
California grown lilies are famed the world 
over and my customers may rely on our 
guarantee of shipping only strong mature 
plants which blossomed freely last year. The 
value of these vigorous California plants in 
quickly establishing themselves and flowering 
is well understood by those who have tried 
to get early flowers from ordinary roots. Cali¬ 
fornia sunshine and long growing season 
gives our plants a vigorous, stocky root well 
stored with reserve strength with which it 
makes its new growth after transplanting. A 
trial will convince you. 
SUNSET COLORED LILIES 
These exceedingly hardy and beautiful lil¬ 
ies are amongst the freest blooming of all 
and are recommended for planting in every 
pool. The blossoms open in various shades 
of soft apricot, changing with age to deeper 
red.

The picture below so well expresses the 
beauty of this lily that I need but add that it 
flowers very freely, often having 2 r 
or 3 blossoms at once, and that it Ip I C J 
will do so even in the smallest pool. J.
