PRIDE OF CALIFORNIA 
A Glorious Vivid Red Blossom. A 
Feast of Color. 
EMILY GRANT HUTCHINGS LA REINA DE LOS ANGELES 
Such a Free Blooming, Easily Grown Lily An Enchanted White Blossom Like a Full Round 
Deserves a Place in Your Pool. 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 vel¬ 
vety depth that fairly makes them glow. The 
flowers have most gorgeous colors, hot glow¬ 
ing reds, snowy whites, soft pinks, a veritable 
riot of brilliance. The blpssoms are large, 
reaching 10 inches across and are most freely 
borne, as the photographs show. 
Rubra Rosea. Brilliant, rosy-carmine flowers which 
in the sunlight fairly seem to burn with color. A 
free and continuous bloomer. $1.50. 
Devoniensis. A rosy red flowered variety with 
large, bronzy leaves. A most popular and desirable 
variety. The flowers are quite large, reaching 10 
inches across. $1.50. 
Juno. An immense pure white flower, opening 
widely; the bright yellow stamens forming a cone 
in the center. Seen in the dusk of evening the 
flowers are a never-to-be-forgotten sight. $1.50. 
★ EMILY GRANT HUTCHINGS. A glorious variety 
with tempting, amaranth-pink flowers and most beautifully curved 
petals. It is an excellent plant and flowers faithfully all summer long. 
Do not fail to plant it for you will enjoy its great beauty. $1.50. 
★ PRIDE OF CALIFORNIA. A Johnson introduction for 1936. A mag¬ 
nificent new night booming Lily with the most gorgeously glowing red 
petals of all. The flowers are large and extremely freely produced 
with the brilliant translucent color of Burmese pigeon-blood rubies. 
When this first bloomed for us you may imagine with what feeling 
we beheld its glorious color. $2.00. 
Mrs. George C. Hitchcock. A very large flower of a most exquisite, 
deep pink. The spreading petals surround a central cone of mahog¬ 
any red stamens in a most pleasing and graceful way. It is such a 
free bloomer and is so easily grown that everyone should plant it. 
I can freely recommend it. $1.50. 
Sturtevant. This old introduction of ours is conceded to be one of 
the finest grown with foot wide, deep rosy pink flowers. Give it gen¬ 
erous treatment and a warm summer and no other Lily can touch it, $2.

Night Blooming Water Lilies 
EXOTIC—FASCINATING 
* LA REINA DE LOS ANGELES. (Queen 
of the Angels.) A Johnson Introduc¬ 
tion for 1936. 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 en¬ 
chanted 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. $2.00.

We Strive to Do Right 
This is the third consecutive year I 
am placing my full order for water 
plants with you. and I am only sorry 
that I cannot afford more as we have 
two fine large pools. I sent you pic¬ 
tures of them last year. We find your 
Lilies unusually fine, and appreciate 
your replacing one that failed to grow 
last year. 
MRS. CHAS. PROKOP, 
Lidgewood. North Dakota. 
Our Word is Kept 
I received the replacement of the Blue 
Star in excellent condition. It has only 
been in the pool a week, and already 
has a dozen leaves. I wish to thank 
you for this splendid plant and would 
recommend Johnson’s Water Lilies to 
anyone.

Seeds of Tropical Water Lilies 
For those who care to experiment with raising Water Lilies 
from seed we offer 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 80 
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 off. 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 G inches.
