Water Will Highlight your Western Garden 
The following pages will introduce you to the pleasures and rewards of growing water lilies 
in a western setting. Their gorgeous colors and easy maintenance make them a must. Modern 
or provincial style homes are hardly complete without a water lily pool to grace the grounds and 
provide a focal point of interest. Many of the Western and Southern states can expect shipment 
of their hardy water lilies from March and April on, and have their water lilies in bloom by 
April or the early part of May. It is not necessary to protect your pool during the winter 
months in the Western States except in a few of the mountainous areas. Merely keep the water 
level high and sit back and wait for flowers in the spring. Our Hardy plants bloom from 
March to September in most localities. You will find full cultural instructions on page 5. 
Visit our nurseries. We are open seven days a week and you are most welcome. Directional 
map on page 12.

Hardy water lilies winter perfectly in temperatures as low as 40 
degrees below zero. A planting of both Hardy Water Lilies and 
Tropical Water Lilies will assure you of a continuous showing of 
exquisite blossoms all summer. Tropical water lilies, both day and 
night blooming make a lush, quick growth in your warm summer 
days and nights. It is often possible to take advantage of natural 
ponds where hardy water lilies readily naturalize themselves. In 
sections where danger of frost damage to concrete pools exists, all 
that is necessary is to drain the pool and cover with boards and 
straw until spring. Goldfish and small aquatics may be kept in the 
basement near a sunny window until spring. In Eastern and North- 
ern states shipment of hardy water lilies may be made from April 
15th on, and tropical water lilies from May 25th to June lst. Bear in 
mind that Blue Triumph can be shipped up to two weeks earlier 
and you can expect flowers from the first day after planting on.
