GLORIOSA (Above) 
A lily that is correctly named since it is so exceed¬ 
ingly glorious that we recommend it as the basis of 
every collection. Let us assure you that Gloriosa, 
without doubt, sets a standard among hardy lilies 
and beautiful flowers. Its blossom is a truly remark¬ 
able red and is often 6 to 7 inches across, perfect in 
form and rather double. Its perfume is similar to 
that of apple blossoms. It is thoroughly at home in 
pool or lake, and its characteristic small leaf-spread 
and large blossoms make it an ideal plant for tub 
culture. $2.50. 
GONNERE (Right) 
An exceedingly double flower. The petals are 
snowy white and there are so many of them that the 
flower looks like a huge snowball. Foliage light 
green. A free bloomer. $2.25. 
COMANCHE (Below) 
Three of the Finest 
T RICKER'S

opens rich apricot and then changes to a deep cop¬ 
pery bronze. You will be delighted with this one. $2.

GRATEFUL FOR FINE PLANTS 
FROM TRICKER 
“I bought 7 Water Lilies and some other plants like 
Water Lettuce, etc. All of the plants have lived, none 
even dried, and each year the lilies have been cut in 
two and the other plants thinned out. The pool had at 
the start good soil and some fertilizer, but since it has 
had nothing but a covering of leaves when the w'ater is 
drawn off the first of October, or sometimes a bit later. 
It has been very beautiful and much admired in the 14 
years, and I have been so grateful for the excellent 
plants sent from you always, I was moved to write this 
letter and send you the enclosed snaps.” Miss E. C. 
Hurlbutt, Lexington, Mass.
