ROSY MORN 
2/5 natural diameter. 
Raised in our own pools and recently introduced this 
variety is fast making a place for itself. The flowers are 
very large, up to 7 inches and of a deep rosy-carmine with 
the true fragrance of the wild Cape Cod pond lily. It is a 
hybrid between Escarboucle and Rose Arey. Very hardy 
and free in bloom. $2.50. 
RED AND CRIMSON SHADES 
(Continued from Page 5) 
RED MARLIAC. This handsome variety was raised 
many years ago in France. The very bright red blos- 
soms have crepe-like petals greatly admired. Grows 
so well and flowers so freely it deserves a prominent 
place in your pool. $2.00. 
METEOR. The color of this fine variety is an in- 
tense carmine-red, shining like an exploding meteor 
in your pool. The four sepals are pale red and serve 
by contrast to intensify the carmine of the petals. 
$2.50. 
JAMES HUDSON. Large, rosy-carmine blossoms. A 
very rare and beautiful variety. $2.50. 
NEWTON. A remarkable and quite unusual flower 
for though it is very hardy yet the blossoms appear 
quite like a Tropical Lily, standing up well above 
the water and opening out quite saucer-shaped. The 
petals are pleasing cherry-red in color with pale 
sepals. A very floriferous plant. $2.00. 
SULTAN. Standing well above the water the large 
rosy-red flowers are quite conspicuous. It is particu- 
larly free in flower and may be depended upon to 
always give a display. $2.00. 
WILLIAM FALCONER. Deepest crimson-red. $5.00. 
RED BUTTERFLY. For brilliancy of flower and 
freedom of bloom this dwarf variety is hardly 
equalled. Brightest crimson-red! Unique. $1.50. 
TULIPIFORMIS. <A huge, tulip-shaped blossom, 
amaranth red in color. Very rare and floriferous. 
$2.50.

SUNSET AND CHANGEABLE SHADES 
The sunset colors are most appreciated with their soft apricot, amber 
and yellow-red shades. They are all quite changeable opening out on the 
yellow side and deepening day by day to orange red. Vigorous hardy 
plants that bloom early and late. 
COMANCHE. I feel no hesitancy in recommending Comanche to anyone 
seeking the hardiest and most persistent blooming of lilies. In color it 
is a rich glowing amber with heart of fire. As the blossoms age they 
become dark orange-red. Beginning to bloom early in the spring it is 
still in flower when fall frosts sear the pool. Being a healthy, vigorous 
plant it will easily accommodate itself to even the smallest tub garden. 
$1.50. 
PAUL HARIOT. Illustrated in color on page 5. A very attractive vari- 
ety with fine, soft yellow blossoms flushed with apricot on opening but 
deepening to coppery-red by the third day. A free-flowering plant admired 
by all. To see it is to want it. $1.25. : 
SIOUX. In opening the buds are yellow tinged with copper but by the 
third day the heart is salmon-red, the tips of the petals apricot. Flowers 
freely even under the most adverse conditions. Try it and I am sure 
you will enjoy its bright sunset hues. $1.25. 
SOLFATERRE. A charming, colorful variety, the buds yellow suffused 
with apricot deepening on successive days to salmon and red. It is very 
free flowering, the plant bearing from one to three flowers at a time. 
Each leaf is speckled with red below and mottled with brown above. 
Moderate grower. $1.50. 
AURORA. A bright vari-colored blossom. Semi-dwarf. $1.00. 

YELLOW PYGMY. See page 23.

A CHARMING GARDEN AND POOL 
A scene in the beautiful garden of Mrs. B. P. Owen, 
4049 Connecticut St., St. Louis, Mo. Mrs. Owen 
writes as follows: 
“We thought you might enjoy seeing a picture of 
our pools with your lilies. The pool has been planted 
about a week. Since we have in the past had your 
Star Lilies, Night and Day Blooming Tropicals and 
now the Hardy Sunrise, I know all your lilies are 
excellent. My only regret is that I cannot have all of 
them at once! 
Your lilies are so very satisfactory I feel your 
cactus plants must be too. That’s why I have begun 
a cactus collection for a winter-time hobby so I 
probably will be a Johnson customer for a long time 
to come.”’ 
MRS. B. P. OWEN. 
P.S.: Our pools have a foot of fertilized soil over 
the bottom and the lilies are set in this. I’ve found 
they grow bigger and better this way. The hardy 
ee are left out all winter and thrive on this treat- 
ment.
