Charles L. Tricker, President 


A word to our PATRONS 
Uppermost in all our minds is a thankfulness that peace has again 
come to us. Now is the time to bend our efforts towards making our 
nation a finer and more beautiful place to live. The hearts of all of us 
with the Tricker organization have been saddened that Lieut. Vernon 
Charleson, gallant son of J. T. Charleson, in charge of our Independ- 
ence plant, will not return. The Peace Trio Memorial Collection on the 
cover of this catalog is dedicated to his memory. 
We have been in business a good many years—our loyal friends and 
patrons have made this possible. We hope that you will continue to 
consider Tricker your headquarters for Aquatic Plants and write us if 
we can help you in any way to keep alive your interest in water gard- 
ening. Everything you need for a complete and unusual water garden 
is offered in this catalog, and there is no wider selection of varieties 
in the world than those we offer. Our Tropicals, grown in five-inch 
pots, are the largest, finest plants grown. Our Hardy Lilies are not 
marketed until they reach a size that insures satisfactory results. We 
would not be the largest firm growing Water Lilies in America if we 
had not always adhered to the standard of lowest prices for quality
