JOHNSON’S LEAF PROPAGATING LILIES 
California Sunshine Raised Out of Doors 
No need to tell you how much stronger and more vigorous these outdoor grown plants are over tender, 
greenhouse grown stock. Under our warm California sun these lilies develop luxuriantly green, thick, 
sturdy leaves with short stems and are always shipped in bud or flower. They may be set out somewhat 
earlier than other tropical lilies without danger of checking their growth, for they have been grown under 
conditions similar to your own pool and much cooler than a greenhouse. 
The Leaf Propagating Lilies have the interesting habit of bearing small plantlets on the older leaves, 
forming a ring about the mother plant. While still attached to the old leaves they bloom freely. They 
grow wild in Central Africa, thriving rampantly in the lakes and slow moving rivers. As the old leaves 
i decay the young plants 
float away, stranding in 
the shallows to form new 
colonies. The plants are 
ever blooming, flowering 
freely in the winter time 
in the conservatory, 
where their bright colors 
and exotic appearance 
make them choice sub¬ 
jects for pools in any 
part of the country.

[PANAMA PACIFIC] 
PANAMA PAfTFTf B r iS'ht violet when opening, deepening to a rich, royal purple in the fully expanded 
rniinuri Jrrav^xriv^ flower. Certainly one of the best known and widely grown of the day blooming 
lilies. It is so easy to grow and flowers so well in the small water garden that its popularity is not to be 
wondered at. Almost from the first day you will have its cheerful, richly colored blooms which open early 
and remain open almost until dusk. The bronzy green buds are spotted with maroon and the broad scal¬ 
loped leaves are flecked above and heavily spotted 
beneath, the young plants appearing on the older 
leaves after the plant attains its full vigor. _ 
We freely recommend it as one of the most $900 
satisfactory of lilies. Special price. 
Amethyst. Deep, true amethyst blue petals in a 
cup of rosy sepals. Handsome large flowers freely 
borne and quantities of small plantlets on the older 
leaves which bloom while yet attached to the parent. 
The young plants form early on this choice variety. 
Raised in our nursery. $2. 
• INDEPENDENCE. Huge deep pink flowers. A most 
satisfactory plant blooming when quite small. Pro¬ 
duces great quantities of its spectacular flowers 
throughout the entire season. Grows equally well in 
small or large pools. $2.15. 
Wilson Gigantea. Large sky blue blossoms with 
a most pleasing fragrance. A rare and attractive 
plant. Flowers often reach 10 inches in diam¬ 
eter. $2.50. 
Panama Pacific is a good all around plant. This 
photograph shows it growing in a butter tub. There 
are 2 flowers and 3 buds on this small plant.
