THE WATER LILIES OF TOMORROW 
ARE READY TODAY! 
Lakeview is pleased to be the first commercial grower in 
the United States to be able to offer all these new, improved 
water lilies created by America’s Greatest Water Lily Breeder, 
Mr. George H. Pring, and announced in 1941. Feature articles 
concerning these superlative plants have appeared in The 
Saturday Evening Post, The Flower Grower, Horticulture and 
other magazines. They have been called “The Water Lilies 
of Tomorrow” because they are far superior in habits of 
growth, more resistant to temperature changes, and they pro- 
duce more and finer quality flowers than the older Tropical 
Day Blooming Water Lilies which they will supersede. Here 
you can have them TODAY because we have been carefully 
nursing and propagating our rare growing stock for three 
years. Plants are furnished with small buds and ready in 
May. One plant of a variety to a customer.
