GENERAL LIST 
Hardy Water Lilies 
SUNSHINE GROWN 
Listed According to Color 
GONNERE 
WHITE 
MARLIAC WHITE. Snowy white, broad cupshaped 
flowers with a center cluster of bright yellow sta¬ 
mens. The fragrant blossoms are five to six inches 
in diameter and freely produced during the entire"'" 
summer. Thousands are planted in pools every 
year. $ 1 . 
• GONNERE. The photograph on the right sent to 
us by one of our customers shows Gonnere as it 
grows and blooms in Oklahoma. One could hardly 
wish for a freer flowering or more generally satis¬ 
factory plant than this splendid, snowy white, 
perfectly double lily. It is very much at home in the 
small pool because it does not make a large plant 
though the flowers are much larger than the 
average. $2.50. 
Wild White Lily. A wild lily useful for natural¬ 
izing. A vigorous grower with large white flowers. 
75c each. 
Hermine. A charming semi-dwarf lily with beau¬ 
tiful starry, snow white flowers. A very free 
bloomer. $1.25. 
Gladstone. Large dazzling white flowers with broad 
waxy petals. A vigorous, lusty grower requiring 
plenty of room to really show at its best. For large 
pools it is a beauty. $1.50. 
Lactea. Milk white blossoms. $1.50. 
White Laydeker. A very pretty creamy white lily 
of dwarf habit. In shallow water it blooms most 
profusely, the blossoms having a strong tea frag¬ 
rance. $1.25. 
Loose. A beautiful, delightfully scented lily with 
large flowers 6 to 7 inches across. Strong 
grower. $1.50. 
SUNSET SHADES 
• COMANCHE. Handsome orange red lily with heart 
of fire. The hardiest of all water lilies and a grand 
plant f r the beginner. Blooms most freely even 
when r glected. Try it in your pool. You will not 
be disai pointed. Turn to the colored picture of it 
on page 8. $1.65. 
SIOUX. A vigorous, free blooming plant somewhat 
like Comanche but with more yellow in its flowers. 
The blossoms open chrome yellow tinged with bronze 
and later deepen to orange red. $1.65. 
Seignoureti. Seignoureti is a gorgeously colored 
lily but propagates so shyly it takes years to work 
up a stock. It is certainly one of the freest bloom¬ 
ing lilies grown with very bright orange yellow 
flowers. A rare first rate variety. $4. 
CHRYSANTA. For the tub garden this is a gem 
with its soft rosy yellow blossoms that deepen to 
vermillion. Of quite dwarf growth it makes an ex¬ 
cellent plant for small pools. $1.25.

Johnson Water Gardens, 
Dear Sirs: 
I think you may like to see your lilies purchased 
by me in June, 1931—5 plants. There are always at 
least 2 dozen blooms. They withstood a winter that 
goes to 40 degrees below, in drained pool, covered 
with pine needles and boughs. Even though this 
mulch was removed too early and the pool not filled, 
the lily roots freezing and thawing in the dry air— 
the first lily opened four weeks later. Does one need 
a better proof of hardy stock? I am grateful to you 
for such a good lily collection. 
—MRS. L. DAMON, Alton, N. H. 
Indiana. A very fine copper colored lily with yel¬ 
low and rich pink tints predominating, deepening to 
red with age. The flowers run the gamut of colors 
a plant often having three distinctly colored flowers 
at once. $1.25. 
Solfaterre. The soft yellow blossoms deepening to 
apricot are 5 to 6 inches across. $1.50.
