WATER LILIES have the 
interesting habit of bear¬ 
ing small plantlets on the 
older leaves forming a ring 
about the mother plant. While 
still attached to the old plant 
they will flower freely. In 
Central Africa where they 
grow wild, they thrive ram¬ 
pantly along the margins of 
the vast lakes and slow-mov¬ 
ing rivers. There, as the old 
leaves decay, the young 
plants float away stranding 
in the shallows to form new 
colonies. The plants will 
flower all the year around in 
warm climates or in the con¬

Dear Mr. Johnson: 
I have bought lilies and other plants 
from you for the last six years and 
have had wonderful success with them. 
I think your Blue Triumph and Panama 
Pacific cannot be beat for beauty and 
number of blooms they produce. 
Sincerely yours.

servatory. Their bright colors and delicious fragrance will 
endear them to you. I like them particularly because they 
grow so easily for beginners and may be set out a little 
earlier than some other varieties, thus giving a longer bloom¬ 
ing season. Even if cold, chilly rains come late in spring 
after they are planted they will continue blossoming. 
PANAMA PACIFIC. The colored photograph tells better than words 
the beauty of this splendid Water Lily. Bright violet when it opens, it 
deepens to a rich, royal purple in the fully expanded flower. Our 
customers enjoy this brilliant Lily and hundreds of them plant it every 
year. They find it so easy to grow—no extra care required—just plant 
it and enjoy the flowers. Almost from the first day you will have its 
cheerful, richly colored blooms which open early and remain open 
until almost dusk. We freely recommend it. I have several 
hundred 2-year-old Full of Bloom plants ready to give you $ y 
a glorious display of blossoms.. 
AUGUST KOCH. Colored illustration on front cover. 
This gloriously hued and spicily fragrant Water Lily is one of the 
most exauisite plants I have. The blossoms are a beautiful wistaria 
blue, a heavenly color that one can almost feell The free blooming 
habits of the plant will endear it to you for it is covered all summer 
long with a profusion of flowers, often having 5 or 6 open at one time. 
I have always enjoyed it and feel sure you will also. For a small 
pool no other Lily can surpass it for it will thrive to 
perfection in a tub and flower until late in the season. $1/0 
Big 2-Year-Old Full of Bloom plants. Special at. A 
DAUBEN. A pretty pale blue flowered tropical lily that bears many 
little plantlets on the older leaves even on young plants. Grows easily 
and blooms freely. Though the flowers are not as brightly colored or 
as large as Panama Pacific or August Koch it is nevertheless a <C , | 
most interesting little plant and does well even in the tiny pool. *** I

I received my Panama Collection and the Lily is beautiful and arrived in tine 
condition. I appreciate very much the way your plants are packed for shipping.

Amethyst. A deep pure amethyst blue flower set in a cup 
of rosy sepals. Handsome large blossoms most freely borne 
and most interesting of all it quickly bears 
quantities of small plantlets on even small 
leaves. These little plants bloom while yet 
attached to the parent. They may be sep¬ 
arated and during the summer will form 
nice little plants. This particularly beauti¬ 
ful variety was raised here in our 
nursery. 
GREAT SUCCESS 
June 6, 1935. 
Dear Mr. Johnson: 
I had wonderful luck with my 
Panama Pacific. It bloomed until 
frost, then I put it in a green¬ 
house in a tub, where it kept 
until this week. Now it is in my 
pool, has 6 buds on it. Please 
send me a nice Blue ready to 
bloom as I am late in sending 
for It. H. A. DURYEE.

A FINE BLOOMER

Dear Sir: 
The Panama Pacific Lily or¬ 
dered from you last year is cer¬ 
tainly a fine bloomer and just ex¬ 
actly like the picture shown in 
catalog, and bloomed from April 
to November.

Your Blue Triumph flowered 
ten days after arrival and has

★ INDEPENDENCE. Huge deep pink flowers! This glorious blossom 
sometimes reaches almost a foot in diameter, a great rosy saucer with 
a bright yellow cup. This year I have some splendid Two-Year-Old 
plants that bore just hundreds of fine 
flowers all last summer. When you plant 
them in your pool they will continue 
blooming just as if they had never been 
moved. These are not small pot plants but 
are growing outdoors in huge concrete 
pools under the same conditions your own 
Lilies will grow. For a thrill plant this 
beautiful Lily. My Full of 
Bloom 2-Year-Old 
Plants, special. 
PANAMA COLLECTION 
October 2, 1935. 
Dear Sir: 
I want to express in a small 
way my appreciation to you, for 
the pleasure your “Panama Col¬ 
lection” has given me. I received 
the 2 year old Panama Pacific 
Pond Lily for my small pool (my 
husband made for me) along with 
other plants in the collection after 
their 3000 mile journey and all 
arrived in excellent condition. We 
set them in the pool that night 
and they have seemed right at 
home with us ever since. My 
water garden has been the center 
of attraction for all of us this 
year. Sincerely yours, 
MRS. FRED J. WILEY,

Dear Sirs: 
I want to tell you my pool was 
lovely last year. All the plants 
bloomed profusely. Gloriosa out¬ 
did all. I see it has already sent 
a bud nearly to the top of the 
water now. It truly is surprising 
since we have had a very cold 
and late spring. I could not 
forego the temptation of trying 
out a blue tropical for this year. 
Very truly yours.
