RED HARDY LILIES 
(Continued) 
CONQUEROR. One of my fav¬ 
orites this bold red blossom is 
often 8 inches across, commenc¬ 
ing to bloom very early in the 
season. Particularly suitable 
where a bold, picturesque lily 
is needed. Establishes itself 
very quickly and shortly un¬ 
folds its blossoms — a strong 
point for those in a hurry to see 
their pool at its best.SI.50 
SIRIUS. A striking deep, crim¬ 
son-black lily with almost white 
sepals! Often measures 6 inches 
across. The leaves are a crown¬ 
ing glory, for they are dark red 
with almost black blotches. 
They are as vivid in their way 
as the flowers..$2.50 
ESCARBOUCLE. I consider this 
the most brilliant red of them 
all. Its vivid blossoms reach 
6 to 7 inches in diameter and 
open very early in the morning. 
It is particularly good where 
the weather is cold until late 
in spring, for it blossoms early 
even in cold weather. See page 
4 for colored picture....$2-00

ry-red blossom and free in flow¬ 
er. Charming, rare plant....$2.00

flowers, with charming informal 
flowers .$2.00

24 hours of pool beauty. The 
night blooming lilies are very ex¬ 
otic in appearance, but need room 
to properly develop when they will 
give you an astonishing display of 
real beauty. This collection should 
not be planted until the weather is 
settled and warm, usually the first 
week in June.

WHITE HARDY LILIES 
GRAND FLOWERS THAT CONTRAST WITH 
THE COLORED VARIETIES 
GONNERE. This magnificent pure white lily 
is very double, often having 80 petals to a 
flower of pure dazzling white floating on the 
water like a snowball. A very choice, hardy 
plant succeeding perfectly in the coldest 
places. Turn to page 16 for color plate....$1,50 
MARLIAC WHITE. The most widely planted 
white lily with large fragrant blossoms. Very 
hardy and free blooming.$1.00 
VIRGINALIS. Freest blooming of all, with 
sparkling pure white blossoms of largest size. 
Very rare. Splendid.$5.00 
GLADSTONE. Huge pure white blossoms. 
A splendid flower but give it plenty of room. 
Vigorous grower .$1.50 
ATTRACTION 
(One-half natural size) 
This very attractive Hardy Lily bears large 
blossoms on strong upright stems. Under favor¬ 
able cultural conditions the blossoms may reach 
8 inches across and are very freely borne. The 
abundant leaves are pale green. One of the at¬ 
tractive features of the flower is the C T Fl fl 
pale, almost white sepals which set 4* [ U U 
the deep red petals off to perfection. 
RED HARDY LILIES 
No plant excels these Lilies in the brilliance 
of the reds their petals assume. They are all 
very hardy and free bloomers. 
GLORIOSA. This bright red water lily is 
certainly a triumph of the hybridizers art. I 
have counted 150 open flowers on a patch 15 
feet square! It is very easy to grow and will 
flower abundantly in a tub garden or the 
largest pool. I certainly recommend that it 
be among the first considered for your own. 
The blossoms float and each is a glowing 
bowl of red among pale greed pads, a truly 
beautiful effect, t is very generous in flow¬ 
ering, often commencing to bloom C *3 fl II 
within three weeks of planting! UU

PLENTY OF BLOSSOMS WITH OUR LILIES 
Nov. 10, 1939. 
Dear Mr. Johnson: 
"My lilies have been Just beautiful with 
from 8 to 10 blossoms every day. The Star 
and Blue Beauty have been especially pretty. 
Everyone who has seen them has remarked 
how very large and gorgeous the blossoms 
are. I hope you will receive orders from 
triends who have so admired them."
