These are Johnson's Hardy Water 
Lily Roots. 

Compare them with others! 
The size and vigor of our Hardy Water Lilies 
is due to our long sun-filled growing season. Note 
the sturdiness of the rhizomes and the vigorous 
root systems. The lily at the left is Comanche, 
at right Gloriosa. Our Hardy Lily roots average 
5 to 7 inches in length according to the variety. 
The illustration shows the roots as you will re- 
ceive them.

In 1894 our firm was removed to Hollywood, Cali- 
fornia, which at that time was the lush Cahuenga Valley, 
verdant with orange and lemon groves where now stand 
the movie studios and a busy thriving city. In 1920, need- 
ing more space, we moved to our present site at Hynes, 
near Long Beach. 
Our nursery comprises 10 acres of pools and green- 
houses, besides many 
other additional acres of 
pools wherein our many 
aquatic items are grown 
under ideal conditions.
