TROPICAL WATERLILIES 
BLUE TRIUMPH 
2-Year Old Plants 
For vigor and number of blooms our 2-year-old plants of Blue Triumph are 
unrivaled. We guarantee them to bloom for you, a claim no other firm makes. 
Hundreds of our customers write that they flowered the day after planting! 
In the two years they are grown in our pools they form a woody rhizome that 
is stored with energy enabling us to ship them to you with 4 to 6 buds and 
flowers, and leaves 8 to 12 inches in diameter. Packed in special cartons they 
reach you in the peak of perfection. 
The dark blue flowers have a yellow center filled with liquid the first day. A 
bouquet of them will scent a whole room with a delicious fragrance. 
They will do splendidly in a No. 3 galvanized tub, or make a gor-

Tropical Waterlilies always delight garden lovers with 
their quick growth and almost numberless flowers. Natives 
of tropical streams and pools, they adapt themselves per- 
fectly to our long summers. Planted out in late May and 
early June when the nights become warmer they grow 
rapidly and send up their first flowers within 4 to 6 weeks. 
From then on they will bear from 1 to 6 flowers every day 
throughout the summer until frost. In contrast to Hardy 
Waterlilies, Tropical Waterlilies bear their blossoms on tall 
stems 8 to 12 inches above the water. On the first day of 
opening they have a bright yellow cup filled with crystal 
liquid. They make wonderful cut flowers when placed in a 
tall vase, often lasting 5 days. 
Plant them in water about 12 inches deep using a heavy 
loam when possible. Particularly during the first few weeks, 
keep the water clear and you will be rewarded with quick 
growth. Boxes or pots at least 12 inches in diameter and 8 
to 12 inches deep are fine.
