LA REINA DE LOS ANGELES 
An enchanted white blossom like a full round 
tropic moon. 
T HESE fascinating lilies are the most glorious bits of color in the garden. They open in the evening while the other lilies 
sleep. The name does not do them full justice for they are at their best in the morning hours, remaining open until 
almost noon. They are a feast of color; the texture of the petals giving a velvety depth that fairly makes them glow. The 
flowers have most gorgeous colors, hot glowing reds, snowy whites, soft pinks, a veritable riot of brilliance. The blossoms 
are large, reaching 10 inches across and are most freely borne, as the photographs show. 
★ LA REINA DE LOS ANGELES (Queen of the 
Angels). A Johnson Introduction for 1935. Nothing 
can be more beautiful than this glistening, snowy 
white blossom. Its chaste purity has given us a new 
value for comparison. Think of a flower with broad, 
rounded delicately curved petals reaching 10 inches 
across and gleaming white in the dusk of evening! 
Truly an enchanted blossom and one that can be 
compared to the full, round moon on a clear night. 
It is an easily grown plant and will surprise you 
with its wealth of flower. S3.

freely recommend it. $2.

orange stamens. $1.50. 
Seeds of Tropical Water Lilies 
For those who care to experiment with raising water lilies 
from seed we otter a selection of the best Tropical kinds, as 
very few Hardy Lilies bear seed. They will flower the first 
year. 
The seed may be sown outdoors in June or, if sown early, 
in a pail in a warm, sunny window, planting out in June. 
Seed should be germinated at a temperature of 70 to 78 
degrees. 
In choosing a soil use a heavy loam. Do not add either 
cow manure or leaf mold, as the decaying matter will bubble 
and ferment, causing the young plants to damp oft. They may be planted in a box, 
pan or pot, firming the earth down well, scattering the seeds thinly and covering 
lightly not more than the thickness of the seeds. Fine sand is a good covering. 
Stand the pot in water till thoroughly soaked, then submerge gently to a depth 
of 6 inches.
