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 
throughout 
have made our lilies renowned 
the world.

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 
planted the preceeding year. 
The Day Blooming Tropicals are quite gen- 
erally in bloom when shipped, the blossoms 
opening almost as soon as the lilies are 
planted. The Hardy Lilies sometimes bloom at 
once but generally take from 3 to 4 weeks 
to become established sufficiently to flower. 
The Night Blooming varieties require about 
the same period. 
In a class by themselves are our Blue Tri- 
umph and Blue Beauty Tropicals. Owing to 
their peculiar methods of growth and hardiness 
we are enabled to offer them in huge 2 year 
old specimens that are a mass of buds and 
flowers when shipped. These make splendid 
show plants but will nevertheless accommo- 
date themselves to the smallest pool. See the 
photograph at right. 
In connection with hardiness may I eall 
your attention to our famous Star Lilies 
(shown in color on page 24) which may be 
easily carried over the winter buried in a 
small box of moist sand. You will be espe- 
cially pleased with their spicy fragrance and 
brilliant blue and pink blossoms. From the 
hard brown bulbs the plants emerge in record 
time. Though they are quite resistant to cold 
they usually do not start into growth until the 
average temperature reaches about 65 degrees. 
With the advent of warm weather they grow 
rapidly and bloom almost at once. 
The stately Egyptian Lotus grows prodigi- 
ously during the warm weather of middle 
spring and summer, flowering most profusely 
in July and August. Their huge pink blossoms 
are 9 to 10 inches across like immense semi- 
double roses. 
The smaller aquatics like the Water Poppy, 
Arrowheads, Hyacinth, ete., bloom from mid- 
dle spring till the frosts of autumn.
