HIS year we have an unusually fine collection of hardy lilies with low prices prevailing. We feel 
Tiure 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 
PINK OPAL 
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 9.) $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 back cover.) Pais 
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. 
YELLOW SHADES 
SUNRISE. A glorious yellow variety that opens very early in the 
morning, which habit, we think, inspired its name. The buds are 
olive brown. Its long, narrow petals with curved sides and crinkled tips 
give the appearance of a giant Chrysanthemum. There is a slight trace 
of green back of the clear yellow of the petals and the stamens are a 
rich lemon-chrome. Truly an unusual variety in form, beauty and fra- 
grance. (See color illustration on page 8.) $3.25. 
CHROMATELLA. One of the oldest water lily hybrids of the Marliac 
group. It is compact in growth, with flowers of fair size. Chroma- 
tella is a clear, rich yellow and produces flowers most abundantly.

is an hour later 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 in- 
terfere 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 maintain a constant supply of each variety 
throughout the season.

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 
shading 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 8.) $2.50. 
MARLIAC FLESH. A vigorous variety; flowers large, of 
soft flesh-pink, deepening towards base of petals; 
fragrant and produced freely and continuously through 
the season. Desirable and handsome. (See color ilius- 
tration on back cover.) 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 illustration on back cover.) 2.00. 
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 desirable. 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 staik 
often carries 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 out- 
standing novelty are marked by a lovely silvery sheen, some- 
times 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 leaf- 
stems restrict the spread. (See color illustration, page 9.) $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 variety until well established but well worth any room 
devoted to it. $3.00. 
SOMPTUOSA. When first introduced in 1909 this variety was 
well accepted. The large flowers are very double and fra- 
grant. The outside petals are rosy pink, but the petals grad- 
ually deepen in color toward the center of the flowers and are 
lightly spotted with carmine. The stamens are deep orange in 
color. A very desirable 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 illus- 
tration above.) $1.50.
