DAY BLOOMING TROPICAL 
WATER LILIES (Concluded) 
ALICE 
THICKER 
PINK—Continued 
even tub gardens. It is of the viviparous 
group which bears young plants from the 
center of the leaf. $2.00. 
PINK PEARL. Beautiful pearly-pink flow¬ 
ers of large size. Blooms produced in 
great profusion making a beautiful dis¬ 
play. (See color illustration on page 7.1 
$2.50. 
CLEVELAND. A Tricker production 
named in honor of the largest city of 
Ohio and in a suburb of which our gar¬ 
dens are located. The color of the petals is 
rich, rose pink. The petals being slightly 
pointed make this lily distinctive among 
the pinks. Its marked distinction comes 
in its foliage, for the green leaves are 
mottled and streaked with chestnut brown 
giving a most striking contrast. We con¬ 
sider this a splendid contribution to the 
day-blooming tropical lilies. $2.25. 
inch flowers, but like the Whitaker, will also 
bloom in very small quarters. Will combine 
with any color. (See color Illustration on 
page ll.( $1.75. 
ALICE TRICKER. A prolific white day- 
bloomer. With us the flowers have al¬ 
ways been slightly larger than our original 
Mrs. Pring. Tlie petals seem a little broader 
and are a little heavier in substance. A 
very vigorous grower doing exceedingly well 
in outdoor pools. $2.25. 
PURPLE 
JUPITER. The most popular of the Zan- 
zibariensis lilies. Years ago we selected 
one plant of unusual beauty and propagated 
all of our present stock from it. Moderate 
growth but flowers are of fair size of deepest 
blue in color and with purple tints. The 
bell shaped flowers are characteristic of the 
ROYAL PURPLE 
African lilies. The very many stamens 
differentiate it from other water lilies. Fragrant. Adaptable to all conditions. .$1.75. 
WHITE 
MRS. GEO. H. PRING. The finest of the 
really large white day-bloomers. A new 
and novel type that produced numbers of 
large fragrant, white flowers with pointed 
petals. Very attractive among the pinks and 
blues in a pond and excellent when used 
alone in a formal setting. It is the counter¬ 
part of the Mrs. Whitaker in pure white. 
Petals broader at the base and more pointed 
at the tip. Has been known to produce 13- 
♦AUGUST KOCH. Without question the outstanding of the viviparous water lilies 
named in honor of August Koch of the Chicago Park System. The flowers are 
7-8 inches across. They open four to six successive days. The sepals are purplish-lilac 
in color and the stamens pale wistaria-violet in color. Compact in its growth. (See 
color illustration on page 11.) $2.00. 
*PANAMA-PACIFIC. The last hybrid produced by the late William Tricker. Buds 
come out of the water, bronzy-green spotted with reddish-brown. The petals are 
plum purple in color. A most adaptable lily for either pool or tub culture. (See color 
illustration on page 7.) $2.00. 
*ROYAL PURPLE. This handsome new lily is identical in growth and habit to that 
excellent variety, Panama Pacific, except that the color is a glowing royal purple. 
This novelty will add a note of regal splendor to your pool. $2.50.

Tropical Water Lilies are 
becoming unusually pop¬ 
ular, because of their out¬ 
standing beauty and myste¬ 
rious, yet pleasing frag¬ 
rance.

Pools can be used effec¬

The photograph does not 
do them justice, as these 
lilies and other aquatic 
plants provide a brilliant 
display of color. (Estate of

Hammond Hill, Chagrin 
Falls, Ohio.)

Gold Medal by the National Flower Show in St. Louis. Produces large 
yellow flowers and has beautiful mottled foliage. It has all the excellence for 
which Pring hybrids are noted. Rarest of all water lilies. This Patented Lily 
is offered exclusively by Tricker. (See color illustration on front cover.) $3.00.
