JIM-HOW DO 
YOU GET SUCH 
BIG LILY BLOOMS 
AND SO MANY 
OF THEM ? 
TOM,THE ANSWER 
IS TO USE TRICKER^S 
PRAEFECTA FERTILIZER. 
IT MAKES LILIES GROW 
AND BLOOM LIKE 
NOTHING ELSE WILL. 
Be Kind to Your Lilies—Give Them Plenty of 
Rich Soil and They Will Reward You 
Use at least a bushel of soil although a cubic 
foot will assure reasonably good results. The large 
planting boxes and small tubs we offer are about 
the smallest that should be provided. For maxi¬ 
mum results, use the large planting box or large 
tub. Water Lilies like a heavy clayey soil well 
enriched with organic matter. Well rotted cow 
manure, 1 part to 3 parts of good top soil, is 
excellent. Lacking this, use our special water lily 
fertilizer, PRAEFECTA, at the rate of 2 
lbs. (equivalent of 1 qt.) to 
3 bushels of soil. 
The Best Plant Pood for Lilies 
After years of experimental work in our laboratory we per¬ 
fected a scientifically prepared chemical fertilizer, our Praefecta, 
excellent for water lilies and aquatic plants. It can also be used 
for any other form of flowers and perennials with excellent re¬ 
sults. Mix one quart with each three bushels of soil, or use a 
small amount any time to feed plants. Apply it to water lilies 
and aquatic plants as per instructions given on the containers. 
It will stimulate the growth of plants, which will bloom more 
profusely with larger flowers. 
REFERTILIZE lUies and aquatics three or four times during 
the growing season. For every bushel of soil, wrap one handful 
of Praefecta in cheese cloth or tissue paper and insert in soil 
close to the roots of the plants without moving the containers.
