DAY BLOOMING 
TROPICAL WATER LILIES 
(Concluded) 

PINK—Continued 
CASTALIFLORA. Bright pink flowers are 
moderately large, fragrant and altogether 
charming. Its growth is identical to the blue 
flowering Henry Shaw with which it makes 
an excellent companion. (See color illustra- 
tion on page 7.) $1.75. 

*PATRICIA. Another Independence hybrid. 
It is marvelously free blooming and a de- 
sirable variety producing crimson flowers. It 
is not as large as most varieties and this smallness of size 
adapts it very well to small pools and even tub gardens. It is 
of the viviparous group which bears young plants from the 
center of the leaf. $2.00. 
PINK PEARL. Beautiful pearl pink flowers of medium size 
and produced on stems longer than usual with the tropical 
lilies. Flowers are produced in great profusion, making a con- 
tinuously beautiful display in any pool. $2.50. 
CLEVELAND. A Tricker production named in honor of the 
largest city of Ohio and in a suburb of which our gardens 
are located. The color of the petals is rich, rose pink. The 
petals being slightly pointed make this lily distinctive among 
the pinks. Its marked distinction comes in its foliage, for the 
green leaves are mottled and streaked with chestnut brown 
giving a most striking contrast. We consider this a splendid 
contribution to the day-blooming tropical lilies. $2.25. 
WHITE 
MRS. GEO. H. PRING. The finest of the really large white 
day-bloomers. A new and novel type that produced numbers 
of large fragrant, white flowers with pointed petals. Very at- 
tractive among the pinks and blues in a pond and excellent 
when used alone in a formal setting. It is the counterpart of 
the Mrs. Whitaker in pure white. Petals broader at the base 

































ALICE TRICKER 
and more pointed at the tip. Has been known to produce 13- 
inch flowers, but like the Whitaker, will also bloom in very 
small quarters. Will combine with any color. $1.75. 
ALICE TRICKER. A prolific white day-bloomer. With us the 
flowers have always been slightly larger than our orig- 
inal Mrs. Pring. The petals seem a little broader and are a 
little heavier in substance. A very vigorous grower doing ex- 
ceedingly well in outdoor pools. $2.25. 
PURPLE 
JUPITER. The most popular of the Zanzibariensis lilies. 
Years ago we selected one plant of unusual beauty and 
propagated all of our present stock from it. Moderate growth 
but flowers are of fair size of deepest blue in color and with 
purple tints. The bell shaped flowers are characteristic of the 
African lilies. The very many stamens differentiate it from 
other water lilies. Fragrant. Adaptable to all conditions. $1.75. 
*AUGUST KOCH. Without question the outstanding of the 
viviparous water lilies named in honor of August Koch of 
the Chicago Park System. The flowers are 7-8 inches across. 
They open four to six successive days. The sepals are pur- 
plish-lilac in color and the stamens pale wistaria-violet in 
color. Compact in its growth. (See color illustration on page 
6.) $2.00. 
*PANAMA-PACIFIC. The last hybrid produced by the late 
William Tricker. Buds come out of the water, bronzy-green 
spotted with reddish-brown. The petals are plum purple in 
ea A most adaptable lily for either pool or tub culture. 
2.00. 
*ROYAL PURPLE. This handsome new lily is identical in 
growth and habit to that excellent variety, Panama Pacific, 
except that the color is a glowing royal purple. This vivi- 
parous novelty will add a note of regal splendor to your pool. 
(See color illustration, page 11.) $2.50. 
YELLOW 
ST. LOUIS. The only yellow Tropical Water Lily. Awarded the Henry Shaw 
Gold Medal by the National Flower Show in St. Louis. Produces large 
yellow flowers and has beautiful mottled foliage. It has all the excellence for 
which Pring hybrids are noted. Rarest of all water lilies. This Patented Lily 
is offered exclusively by Tricker. (See color illustration on page 6.) $3.00. 
Left Above: Bouquets of 
Tropical Water Lilies are 
becoming unusually pop- 
ular, because of their out- 
standing beauty and myste- 
rious, yet pleasing frag- 
rance. They are often used 
as bridal bouquets, for 
their many shades and hues 
will match any color ar- 
rangement.

Pools can be used effec- 
tively on sloping ground. 
The photograph does not 
do them justice, as these 
lilies and other aquatic 
plants provide a_ brilliant 
display of color. (Estate of 
Mr. L. J. Hammond of 
Hammond Hill, Chagrin 
Falls, Ohio.) 

Tricker's All Steel MIR-A- 
POOL makes an ideal Christ- 
mas or birthday gift. (See
