TROPICAL WATER LILIES 
Tropical water lilies are our top specialty. 
We have the facilities and the “know how” to 
produce the finest and greatest number of trop- 
ical water lilies in the country. In the tropical 
lilies all colors are available, including those 
delightful shades of blue to purple that are so 
desirable. While under some conditions hardy 
water lilies may be best suited, it is true that 
under most conditions the tropical lilies will 
produce many more and much larger flowers. 
Many of the varieties listed on the following 
pages are our own hybrids or have been intro- 
duced by us. All are offered under the names 
and descriptions as originally given them. 
Consult Page A of the insert pages for cultural 
directions.
