Valley's “/ropical Water Lilies 
Tropical Water Lilies are the largest, most fragrant and loveliest of all water 
lilies. Only in the Tropical lily will you find 24 hours of continuous blooming. There 
you will also find colors of blue and purple which cannot be found in the hardy lilies. 
Some varieties will produce flowers 8 to 12 inches across. Their exotic fragrance can 
be detected several feet away. They are better bloomers than Hardies and are at their 
best in the late summer when the Hardy Lilies are on the decline. 
There are two types of Tropical lilies, Day Bloomers and Night Bloomers. Both 
are best treated as annuals, unless you have a greenhouse to winter them. Give them 
at least 4 feet of space if you want them at thir best. August Koch will do well in a 
tub or half barrel as iis leaf spread is more confined. 
Tropical lilies hold their flowers 6 to 18 inches above the water. All lilies are 
carefully selected and only large healthy plants grown in 5 inch pots are shipped. 
They are very easy to grow. Fill a box 18 inches square and a foot deep, with 
rich soil, cover over with an inch of sand and sink into pool. Always plant Tropicals 
after container has been placed in pool. Tropicals have very thin leaves and the sun 
or wind will soon wither them. if they are left out of water. 
Tropicals should not be set out until warm weather definitely arrives. They may 
be stunted by the cold and never recover if planted too early. We ship Tropicals after 
the Ist of June.
