QUICK TO BLOOM 
August, 1935. 
Dear Mr. Johnson: 
My Water Lilies are all beautiful. 
The Blue Star had 10 flowers and buds 
in 4 weeks. The Panama Pacific was 
only planted 2 weeks till it bloomed and 
the Marliac Yellow had 5 large flowers.

Dear Sirs: 
Last year I sent for several lilies, 
among them Blue Star, which has 3 or 
more blossoms every day.

"Also it may interest you to 
know that the Star Trio wintered 
under 6 inches of ice in our pool 
with weather 15° below zero.”

“The Star Lilies purchased from you 
a few years back have surpassed my 
greatest expectations. They have with¬ 
stood our coldest winters without being 
moved.”

REFLECTIONS 
September, 1935. 
Dear Mr. Johnson: 
All summer long we have 
delighted in your Lilies—so 
abundant and fragrant. The 
Blue Star Hardy Tropical was 
especially prolific. We meas¬ 
ured many 10" across. Al¬ 
most a foot! We are already 
planning to get the Pink Star 
next year and many others so 
don’t forget us with your 
catalog. 
Sincerely yours, 
PHYLLIS FREDERICH.

STAR LILIES 
A Gorgeously Beautiful 
Type of Hardy Tropical Lily 
D URING past years I have found it almost impossible to 
grow enough of these sprightly water lilies to supply 
the ever-increasing demand. Every year they gain a 
new circle of friends for whoever sees them falls in love with 
them. They have all the good points that one could ask for. 
They are brilliantly colored, the pinks fresh and clear, the 
blues electric, vivid. Their fragrance captivating, spicy,sweet 
with a mellow tang. Bloom! No other lily can compare with 
them. If I tell you the truth you will not believe me—over 
1,000 flowers in a season by actual count on a five-foot box 
of them! And remember, each blossom was from five to seven 
inches across. We have great pools of them hundreds of feet 
long that are carpets of color for months. The blossoms are so 
numerous as to be almost touching. We are proud to have 
introduced these most popular of lilies. 
BLUE STAR 
ROSE STAR 
A gloriously brilliant blue flow¬ 
er whose sparkling beauty will 
win your heart. The Lily for every 
pool that grows easily, blooms 
unbelievably freely and may be 
stored away in sand during the 
winter for next year. Plant Blue 
and Rose Star together _ ^ _ _ 
in the same box. The $1 25 
color harmony is perfect. A 
100 FLOWERS! 
Many of our friends write in to 
tell us that single boxes have 
produced well over 100 large 
blooms in a season in their small 
pools. 
The pictures will tell the story 
of the beauty and free blooming 
habits of these charming flowers. 
The starry, brilliant rose blossoms 
are scented with the fragrance of 
Lily of the Valley and all through 
the summer flower in abundant 
profusion. You may replant the 
old tuber each spring for nc 
years and it will produce 
young plants_ *
