Tropical Lilies are not shi ne, except to latitudes south 
of Kansas. . North of Kan temperature can be depended 
upon, and the nights are not ey need warmth. All Tropical Water 
Lilies are shipped Express Collect. Add 50c per lily for parcel post shipments. 
HOW TO PLANT TROPICAL LILIES 
Plant Tropical Water Lilies only after minimum temperature of 70 degrees can 
be depended upon. Earlier planting leads only to disappointment., 
When planting Tropicals in a pool with other lilies and plants, boxes should 
be used in which to plant the bulbs. For each bulb a box 18x18 inches by 10 
inches deep is a good size. Place four inches of fertilizer on the bottom, then 
five inches of soil and one inch of sand. Then plant the bulbs covering them 
well so that only the top of the crown where the leaves and buds are attached 
is just showing. A few rocks placed very close to the crown will help keep 
the bulbs in place to get the root system started. Place bulbs at a slight angle, 
so that they will have plenty of room for growth forward. 
Tropical Water Lilies may be wintered in a greenhouse pool, where they will 
bloom all winter. If you do not have this convenience, it is best to replace 
them each spring. Planting new vigorous bulbs each year, you will be more 
than repaid with large and colorful blossoms that will be prize winners for you.
