Grown Water hilies 
Can you imagine your own pool being in 
bloom almost from the day it is planted? 
It is surprising how quickly aquatic plants 
become established. The cool, green lily pads 
soon spangle the mirrored surface, the arrow- 
heads and rushes luxuriantly clothe the mar- 
gins. Within a few weeks your pool will look 
as lush and green as though it had been

BLUE TRIUMPH LILY 
Harry Johnson with 2 year old plant in July 
This photo shows the growth they make in 
our pools the summer before they are shipped 
to you. This is an average plant. Note espe- 
cially the strong, heavy rhizome that the 
plants make. Such plants cannot fail to give 
you the utmost satisfaction. In the spring 
they become partially dormant and are shipped 
with perfect safety. You will receive them 
ready to bloom and as fresh as if you had 
called for them though you live 2500 miles 
away. 

OUR POTTED TROPICAL LILIES 
These vigorous, ready to bloom, plants are 
all raised in 5 inch pots in outdoor tanks 
where they gather the strength and vigor that 
have made our lilies renowned throughout 
the world.
