More Winning 
Combinations 
Bargains Are Never Picked 
Many special lily collections 
listed here and on Pages 26, 27, 30 
and 31 consist of four, three and 
sometimes only two flowers. We 
make a point of this because we 
want to emphasize the fact that at 
no time have we ever assembled 
a bargain collection on the sole 
basis of quantity at low cost. That 
would be contrary to the outlook 
of our business, for water lilies are 
a luxury. They’re an inexpensive 
luxury that everybody can afford, 
but still a luxury. 
A bargain that can be picked up 
for practically nothing, we’ve no- 
ticed, is usually worth just about 
that much, and not nearly so much 
of a bargain, really, as something 
picked out with an eye to beauty 
and quality. 
This is not to say that our prices 
aren't as fair as any others you 
will see—and much fairer than 
many. We merely want to assure 
you that any collection we send you 
will have been chosen not by quan- 
tity at low cost, but in accordance 
with somebody’s esthetic prefer- 
ences. We've assembled many of 
the collections ourselves. Our cus- 
tomers, however, have created the 
majority of them by ordering the 
most beautiful combinations they 
knew to pass on, as gifts, to their 
friends. Can there be any method 
Up—They’re Picked Out. 
of assembling flowers with more 
care and artistry ? 
Our huge collections for larger 
pools and ponds, listed on Pages 
30 and 31, are chosen with the 
same particular taste for the ap- 
pearance the combined hues and 
blooming habits the lilies will pre- 
sent. They’re bargains from the 
standpoint of beauty and quality 
first, bargains by their prices at 
second glance.
