These three Water Lilies 
photographed in natural col- 
ors are set against a back- 
ground of natural color photo- 
graph of Blue Star Water 
Lilies in one of our pools. The 
Blue Star carries its flowers 
on strong stems about 2 feet 
Or more above the water sur- 
face. Tropical lilies are fra- 
grant, large and make ideal 
cut flowers. 
Please Notice 
Most of our tropical lilies 
will bloom at least one 
week after shipping. Lots 
of them are shipped with 
flower buds so that you may 
expect an immediate effect. 
Too often customers insist 
on early shipments, which 
is a mistake based more on 
inexperience on the part of 
the water gardener. In the 
latitude of St. Louis, Trop- 
ical Lilies should never be 
Planted before May 20. Al- 
low us to ship your trop- 
ical lilies at proper planting 
time and you will never be 
disappointed with results.

I received my order March 8, 1945. 
Everything was in first class condition 
and the plants were excellent; they were 
the nicest I have ever seen. I am send- 
ing the fish can back.

I received my plants on the eighteenth 
and was very much pleased; they were 
» such nice, green, crisp plants. The food 
which came in the same order seemed 
to be much appreciated by my fish.

I bought one Mexicana water lily 
from you about two weeks ago. I am 
very pleased with your water lilies. I 
got my Blue Star water lily today, and 
it was in perfect condition—and it came 
from St. Louis to California.
