It would be difficult to imagine a more beautiful lily 
than this. The huge pink chalices clustering among the 
green pads in profusion, blooming steadily throughout 
the spring and summer. Each rounded petal is pink 
toward the tip, deepening to a richer hue at the base. 
It has been one of our show varieties for years, but 
owing to the slowness with which it increases g 
it can never become common. The flowers are ^ 
really mammoth without coarseness. SJ

Dear Sirs: 
I want to tell you how lovely the Glortosa lily is. By May the 
29th we had a flower and last week it had 8 blooms at once.

They Will Give Beauty to Your Pool 
O UR collection of Water Lilies is the largest in the world, being the 
result of some 59 years of collecting. We have supplied authenti¬ 
cally named stock to Botanic Gardens throughout the world for 
over 50 years. Many Water Lilies are very rare and only a few plants 
are to be had as they are difficult to propagate. The ones I am offering 
here are exceptionally fine. 
NEPTUNE. If you want something really worthwhile let me recommend this fine 
lily. On a patch of Neptune 5 feet square I counted 34 open flowers! This was not 
at all unusual and the same box bloomed in like manner for over five months. 
This rare variety has beautiful pink petals flushed with velvety red at q<£^cn 
the base. It does not seem possible for a plant to bear more flowers 
than this one does... 
NEWTON. There is no other lily just like Newton. The flower opens flat with long 
pointed petals so that it looks a great deal like a tropical lily. In color 
it is a light red with pink sepals. It has a very large root and blooms 
until late in fall... 
COLOSSEA. In the morning when the buds unfold they are exquisite with the 
faint, soft, rosy sheen of a seashell and with age the flower retains its tender flush. 
The petals are full and rounded and with generous culture will reach 7 inches in 
diameter. It is an exceptionally hardy lily, healthy and free in flowering. We have 
found it an excellent flower for cut¬ 
ting, the waxy petals keeping 
bright from four to five days. Try 
floating them in a shallow cn 
green dish, resting the 
flower on a lily pad.

Dear Sirs: Olean, N. Y. 
"I am going to add a few lines 
to this order to tell you how re¬ 
markably the Paul Hariot Lily 
bought of you last spring stood 
our coldest winter weather—40° be¬ 
low zero—and how splendidly it 
grew and bloomed last summer, 
giving us a profusion of blooms 
until checked by cold weather. I 
might add that Mr. Albert had the 
same happy experience with Glori- 
osa and Splendida. So you see why 
we are glad to recommend Johnson 
Water Gardens and order again 
this year. Mrs. Glen H. Buckley."

This is one of those strikingly beautiful plants that one 
remembers long after. It is different from every other Lily 
so that you may distinguish it even by its leaves. As the 
photograph shows, the blossoms are very double with a 
full globular form. The big buds are almost round before 
they unfold. The color of the blossoms is a misty, deep 
pink with a ball of garnet colored stamens shelter- 
ing the central yellow disk. I have only a very few $ C 
plants to offer as it reproduces very slowly.
