‘ AY STAR LILIES 
“ay , MAY BE EASILY WINTERED 
4 These are amongst our most enjoyable lilies. They 
‘ i grow freely even in small pools producing an endless 
succession of their beautiful starry blossoms. One may 
reasonably expect a hundred flowers in a season from a 
box of them. Customers have written they have had 
more than 150. The blossoms have a grace and attrac- 
tiveness quite their own being borne high above the 
water on slender arcuate stems. The colors are brighi 
and vivid like sunlight through a prism. In size they are 
all that could be desired averaging from 5 to 8 inches 
in diameter and when cut for the table last for days. 
The fresh, elusive fragrance they breathe of Lily of the 
Valley endears them to all. 


STAR LILIES BLOOM FREELY 
100 flowers in a season may reasonably be expected! 
How they are shipped. 
Star Lilies are always sent as dormant tubers and 
thus may be planted out early along with your Hardy 
Lilies. They will sprout when the water becomes warm— 
68° or more. 









BLUE STAR 
The starry, brilliant purple-blue blossoms are scented 
with the fragrance of Lily of the Valley. Throughout the 
summer they are borne in endless succession often 4 
or 5 will be open at once each from 5 to 8 inches 
in diameter. When planted alone give them a box 
15 to 18 inches across and preferably a clayey 
garden loam for soil. Each $1.25. 

ROSE STAR 
Brilliant luminous pink. All the Star Lilies are 
quite similar in growth varying only in color. Their 
care is exactly the same. Choose a warm sunny 
spot in the pool with water 6 to 8 inches deep. 
The cold of the deep water retards their early 
growth. Each $1.25, 
PINK STAR 
Gay, silvery pink. A fascinating flower with its 
rich yellow stamens and stigmatic cup. Interesting 
is the fact about the Star Lilies that the color sof 
the undersurface of the leaves approximates the 
color of the flower, i.e. purple leaves with purple 
flowers. Each $1.25.
