pus year we have an unusually fine collection of hardy lilies with low prices prevailing. We 
feel sure there is no other collection which offers such a fine array of colors and types in the 
fine quality plants for which Tricker is noted. 
Everyone loves the hardy lilies. Their lovely blossoms open just above the surface of the water or float 
gently on it. The leaf stems adjust to the water’s depth. If the water is lowered the bud stems twist to keep 
the bud under water until ready to open. Opening and closing takes one hour each and is an hour later 
CHANGEABLE OR SUNSET SHADES 
This interesting group includes the fascinating copper-colored varieties, 
the dainty shades of apricot and orange, and the so-called ‘‘sunset colors.” 
COMANCHE. A French hybrid which has become practically standard 
in this color group. The flowers open a rich apricot which color 
changes later to a deep coppery bronze as the flower ages, the oldest 
flowers showing a glowing red color in the center. The orange stamens 
present an attractive contrast. (See color illustration on page 11.) $3.00. 
PAUL HARIOT. We always hesitate in expressing a personal choice 
but we have an especial liking for the very charming variety, Paul 
Hariot. Its beauty is difficult to describe. The flowers are quite large 
and are produced freely. The first day the petals are clear yellow, suffused 
with an orange pink the second day. It gradually deepens to almost red 
on the following days. A most desirable variety. (See color illustration 
on page 9.) $2.75. 
ROBINSONI. This variety was originally produced in 1895 by the 
famous French introducer. The flowers are of medium size, star- 
shaped. The predominant color is a crimson-vermilion shaded with a 
rich orange yellow toward the center, The foliage is olive green in color 
spotted with maroon. This variety is indeed an excellent addition to any 
group of hardy water lilies. $3.00. 






NOTE: If you have a good picture of your pool, send it to us 
as we would be glad to see it. Sometime we may want to 
print some of the best pictures received in a future catalog 
and we know people will enjoy seeing a picture of your pool.

PINK OPAL 
and earlier on the first day open. 
Hardy lilies are equally at home in concrete pools, half 
barrels or tubs; and with a little care to prevent actual 
freezing of the roots, their beauty and fragrance may be 
enjoyed year after year. Lack of experience will not inter- 
fere with results, as water lilies “‘just grow’’ when pro- 
vided with sunlight, rich soil and warm, shallow water. 
We urge you to order early to avoid disappointment, if 
you want certain definite varieties of these fine plants. 
This class of lilies has become so much in demand it is 
difficult to mantain a constant supply of each variety 
throughout the season. 
Turn to page 15 for hardy lilies especially desirable for 
growing in tubs or small pools. 
PINK,ROSE and SALMON SHADES 
ROSE AREY. The flowers, a deep-cerise pink, sometimes 
reach 8 inches in diameter. The petals are pointed and 
have a noticeable curl that gives the effect of darker shad- 
ing near the edges. We consider Rose Arey one of the best 
of the Odorata type; a delightful surprise awaits you. 
(See colored illustration on page 10.) $2.50. 
MARLIAC FLESH. A vigorous variety ; flowers large, of 
soft flesh-pink, deepening towards base of petals; fra- 
grant and produced freely and continuously through the 
season, Desirable and handsome, (See color illustration 
on page 9.) $2.00. 
MARLIAC ROSE. In the Marliac type this variety is undoubtedly 
the best of the pinks because of the substance of the flower 
and its beautiful and attractive shape. Deep pink in color, shading 
imperceptibly to a delicate rose at the tips of the petals. Excellent 
for cutting, good size, fragrant and most pleasing. (See illustra- 
tion on page 9.) $2.50. 
FIRE CREST. Another recent American variety. Flowers are 
very fragrant. Upon opening, the petals are a deep pink and 
the flower opens wide, leaving the stamens standing quite erect. 
The tips of the stamens are colored fire-red, thus giving the 
flower a very unique appearance. $2.00. 
MASANIELLO. Some years ago we introduced this splendid 
French hybrid but all too soon our stock was sold out. Lately 
it has received much attention and we are again offering this fine 
variety. Its cup-shaped flowers are pink dotted with carmine and 
have a most pleasing fragrance. A free bloomer and very desir- 
able, Special indeed at $2.25. 
MME. JULES CHIFLOT. White of moderate growth, this plant 
produces lovely pink flowers of greatest size. The stamens 
are bright yellow, foliage light green. The rigid flower stalk often 
earries the blooms slightly above water level. It attracted a great 
deal of attention in our show pool last year. $2.75. 
LUSTROUS. If you want an unusually beautiful new lily for 
your pool, choose Lustrous. The large flowers of this outstand- 
ing novelty are marked by a lovely silvery sheen, sometimes called 
deep peach, Rose pink petals, thick yellow stamens. The sepals are 
deeper pink on the inside, brown underneath. The Lustrous is a 
strong grower and very compact as short leafstems restrict the 
spread. (See color illustration, page 11.) $3.00. 
NEPTUNE. The flowers of this old favorite are star-shaped and 
of a deep rose heavily shaded with crimson. The inner petals 
are faintly spotted with white while the outer petals are almost 
white but shaded with rose. The early foliage is very interesting 
as it is a deep maroon, but changing to green as it ages. A variety 
which is a splendid free bloomer. $3.00. 
GLOIRE DU TEMPLE-SUR-LOT. This variety was originally 
introduced in 1913 but because of its slow propagation has 
never been pushed to its deserved place. The most double flower 
we have ever had. The long narrow petals bend in at the top, On 
the first day of opening the color is a very tender pink changing 
to a pure white on the second day. The flowers are extremely 
large and are very fragrant. Not a particularly free-blooming 
pe en he well established but well worth any room devoted 
TOMES -00. 
SOMPTUOSA. When first introduced in 1909 this variety was 
well accepted. The large flowers are very double ahd fragrant. 
The outside petals are rosy pink, but the petals gradually deepen 
in color toward the center of the flowers and are lightly spotted 
with carmine. The stamens are deep orange in color. A very de- 
sirable variety. $2.75, 
*PINK OPAL. Deep rich pink in color. The buds are almost 
round and open into a flower of interesting form. The petals 
are comparatively short and on the first day of opening the 
flowers are carried slightly above the surface of the water. The 
flowers are of very moderate size, valuable for cutting and the 
variety does especially well in restricted areas, (See illustration 
on above.) $1.50.
