1950 William Tricker, Inc Mail-Order Catalog

Enjoy a bit a history as you peruse the 1950 William Tricker, Inc. mail-order catalog. The first thing you’ll notice that there were photographs were rare at the time. They had an artist create all the water lily, lotuses, and fish images.

Just like today, a “Guaranteed to Grow'” was offered. “Collections” were popular back then as they are today where customers saved money on their orders. Tub gardens were also featured for the small creative spaces.

You’ll notice the popular aquatic plants back then are still available today for that historic touch to your water garden. So is Innurco (Independence Nursery Company) and Vitaline.

A lot hasn’t changed since the 1950’s — a lot has.
