NOTHING LIKE A POOL 
_ .. November 22, 1935. 
Gentlemen: 
Here is a picture of our pool with Johnson 
Lilies growing in them. This year they were espe¬ 
cially beautiful. I myself think it is no garden 
without a pool. This year we have planted the 
Star Trio, Gloriosa. Yellow Pygmy, Golden West 
Collection, Blue Triumph, Panama Pacific and 
some aquatics, in a new pool my husband built. 
Yours truly, 
MRS. CARL ZIMMERMAN, 
Miles City, Montana. 
MORE CONTRAST! 
Gentlemen: 
The Water Lilies I purchased from you last 
month are most satisfactory. I planted some local 
Lilies a month before I planted yours and they 
have not bloomed yet while yours are in full 
bloom, only a little over two weeks after planting. 
They are the finest I have ever seen and am 
glad to recommend them to anyone wanting the 
best. Sincerely yours, 
J. A. KNIGHT.

MORE SHALLOW WATER PLANTS 
★ f Egyptian Papyrus. Our most popular water plant. The plumy 
heads in the color above show the grace and distinction of this famed 
plant. The tall, slender stems each bear on the ends big plumy 
heads of threadlike leaves. When well grown the heads are 18 ins. 
across. Grows well in 2 inches of water or will grow equally well 
in damp soil about the pool or in the lawn. The Egyptians made 
paper of it by pressing thin slices of the pithy stems in sheets. 35c 
each. 3 for $1.00. 
k * Floating Heart. Bright yellow blossoms on plants that look like 
miniature Water Lilies. The leaves are beautiful, splotched with red 
and daintily scalloped about the edges. The flowers are borne on 
floating runners and are continually produced. 20c each. 3 for 50c. 
4 Leaf Water Clover. A handsome Water Fern with clover like 
fronds. This pretty, hardy plant grows equally well in deep or shallow 
water. When planted in deep water the fronds float on the surface. 
20c each. 3 for 50c. 
* Primrose Creeper. A rapidly growing aquatic vine for covering 
rocks and will quickly grow over concrete edge of pool. Beautiful, 
shining green leaves, veined white and handsome large golden yellow 
blossoms. When growing out over the water it is partially submerged, 
the long wreath-like tendrils being very graceful. 20c. 3 for 50c. 
Japanese Arrowhead. A freely flowering plant for shallow water 
with most attractive, soldierly, arrow-shaped leaves and pretty spikes 
SOME CONTRAST! 
Sept. 3, 1935. 
Dear Sir: 
I have had wonderful success with 
the Water Lilies purchased from 
you: they have bloomed constantly 
all summer long and are still 
blooming, SOME CONTRAST with 
a couple I purchased from Eastern 
water gardens that have not bloomed 
at all, even the Lilies grown by me 
from seed purchased from you are 
blooming and are fine little flowers. 
Sincerely yours,

intioduced. An easily grown, necessary plant. 35c.

by tall arching spikes of purple flowers. Grows 3 to 5 feet tall and is 
hardy anywhere. Thrives in shallow water. 35c.

nately. A handsome plant growing 2 feet high. 25c. 
Umbrella Palm. This popular shallow water plant has plumy 
heads of narrow leaves on slender stems 2 to 4 feet tall. Grows 
easily and never fails to make an attractive plant. Closely related to 
the Papyrus. Grows equally well in moist soil or water. 25c, 3 for 50c. 
f Chinese Water Chestnut. Grows easily in shallow water with 
quill-like leaves 2 feet high. In the fall bears the famous Water 
Chestnuts on the roots. 25c. 
$ Purple Loosestrife. This hardy aquatic perennial enjoys shallow 
water. A colony of it is beautiful with its tall spikes of brilliant, rosy 
flowers. Grows easily, coming up year after year. 25c. 
f Graceful Cattail. The prettiest form of Cattail. Long, slender, 
double cattails and graceful, arching, silver-green leaves. A very 
handsome variety, not too strong a grower. 25c. 
Pleased With Results 
Dear Sirs: 
The Lilies which I purchased 
from you last May are very satis¬ 
factory. They have yielded blossoms 
every day since July 10. For your 
interest I am enclosing two pictures 
of my small pool showing the Mar- 
liac Trio. You will notice that there 
are eight blossoms from these three 
plants—four are yellow, two pink 
and two white.
