GRASSYFORK TROPICAL WATER LILIES 
(See Color lilustrations Inside Front Cover) 
TROPICAL LILIES provide twenty-four hours of continuous bloom each day from 
settled weather in spring until fall. They adapt themselves to the largest Pools or the 
smallest Tub-Gardens, the size of flowers alone being affected depending on the 
amount of soil and water surface provided. We ship only mature, potted plants, 
many already in flower, which produce fully developed plants giving a wealth of 
bloom in a surprisingly short time after setting out. 
Tropical Lilies are of two distinct types: the Dayblooming Lilies, whose flowers 
open with the sun and close at evening, and the Nightblooming Lilies, whose flowers 
open in the afternoon and remain open until late the following morning. For 
constant succession of bloom the Tropical Lilies are unexcelled. Tropical Lily blos- 
soms stand above the water in contrast to Hardy Lily flowers, which float. Set Trop- 
ical Lilies out in boxes 18 inches to 2 feet square and a foot deep, submerge 8 to 10 
inches, and allow from 8 to 20 square feet of water-surface, for best results. They 
may be set out when settled weather is assured, which, in the latitude of New York, 
Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleveland, and St. Louis, is about the end of May.
