| History |
During the beginning of World War II, William Tricker's 1942 catalog has a photograph of Bob Trickett with a quote "During trying times there is no more worth while diversion than growing water lilies and aquatic plants. There is something about the beauties of a water garden which gives one a mental escape from the troubles and tragedies of the world and fills us with renewed confidence in the eternal triumph of right." |
The table below shows the estimated shipping and pick-up weeks for destinations to USA states. These dates can change depending on weather and how strong the plants are at that time.
For example, a wet spring will have many clouds leading to less sunshine. Thus, the plants may need a bit longer to grow strong enough for transplanting and transit. With the planet heating up, a warm spring may help the plants grow strong enough to ship before the dates in this table.
