You will enjoy this beautiful Water Garden 
P ERHAPS you have dreamed of a 
pool in your garden and if you 
have you could not have imagined 
one more pleasing and colorful than this. 
The three lilies are each of them as fine 
as anything in their class with big, 
bright flowers, easy to grow and just as 
free in bloom as possible. Plant the 
lilies in separate boxes and space them 
well giving them a good rich soil. The 
aquatics may be planted in the shallow 
water of the margins or raise the con¬ 
tainers in which they are planted to 
within a couple of inches of the surface. 
They may be planted separately or two 
or three kinds may be placed together. 
The Hyacinth blooms best where the 
roots reach the soil. 
ENJOY THIS FINE SMALL POOL 
COLLECTION 
Dear Mr. Johnson: 
April 24, 1035. 
Year before last I sent for your small pool 
collection and we've never enjoyed anything as 
much as the Comanche lily arid the other plants 
of the collection. Others who came remarked 
about the profusion of growth of each plant. 
Tips year I’m ordering you Panama Collection 
and looking forward to enjoying it as much 
as the other.

VIRGINALIS. This exquisitely chaste white 
lily bears a wealth of its large floating blos¬ 
soms from earliest spring till the frosts of 
autumn. The roots seldom divide but throw- 
all their strength into one large crown which 
produces a startling number of flowers. They 
open widely with snowy white petals circling 
a fairy nest of rich yellow stamens. In size 
they are far above the average and fragrant 
with the breath of tea roses. The petals have 
a waxy whiteness about them that remind one 
of the old fashioned tube rose. This is one 
of the rarest of all lilies and the $*750 
finest white flowered one. /

Wonderful Blue Triumph 
Dear Mr. Johnson: 
1 want to add a few lines to this order to let you 
know how well pleased we were with the lilies last 
year. Every one thought the Blue Triumph was won¬ 
derful. It started to bloom 4 or 5 days after we 
planted it and was never without flowers until frost.

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 beauti¬ 
ful pink petals flushed with velvety red at 
the base. It does not seem possible for a 
plant to bear more flowers than this $ 1 50 
one does.. 1 
Well Pleased 
My Dear Mr. Johnson: 
Your new book just arrived and it has me 
all excited again so had to start cleaning our 
lily pool. Just finished today and find everyone 
of our lilies in very fine condition and putting 
on New Buds. 
I find that I just MUST have a sample of 
that wonderful Pennsylvania to go with our very 
fine Gloriosa, Comanche. Morning Glory. Marliac 
Yellow and Pink Star. Our tiny Pygmy yellow in a 
little pond by itself caused much admiration last 
season. All of these came from your stock. 
We appreciate your fine service and stock. 
Sincerely.
