STAR LILIES 
MAY BE EASILY WINTERED 
These are amongst our most enjoyable lilies. They grow 
freely even in small pools producing an endless succession 
of their beautiful starry blossoms, One may reasonably ex- 
pect 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 attractiveness quite their own 
being borne high above the water on slender arcuate stems. 
The colors are bright 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.
