time, effort, or money in securing not only the best 
varieties but those that would be most suitable for 
water gardens in most sections of the country. In

every climatic condition, also for the various tastes

Tropical Lilies are not rst of June, except to lati- 
tudes south of Kansas. No nsas, be sure a warm temperature 
can be depended upon, and the nights are not too cool. They 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 disap- 
pointment. 
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.
