propagating 
varieties. All of this group have the interesting characteristic of, 
occasionally, producing young plants on the surface of the leaves.

ties are much more prolific in this manner than others.

BEUE BEAUTYs (ortPennesivaniaye One of the oldeas hybrid. blue PINK VARIETIES ee

IT IS EASY TO GROW TROPICALS 
Tropical Lilies adapt themselves to any amount 
of soil. The size of their blossoms depends upon 
the room given the plant. The quantity of flowers 
produced is really remarkable—we have had plants 
produce over 100 flowers in one season. See insert 
in the center of this catalog for full planting in- 
structions.
