The 
Try tropical lilies for cut flowers. 
They may be kept open continually after cutting by dropping sufficient wax (not too hot) 
over the entire center of plant; after the wax has set, the flowers stay open. 
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.
