2 YEAR OLD PLANTS. Only Johnson can 
supply them. 
This glorious day blooming tropical lily is 
our great specialty and we take particular 
pride in the vigorous flowering plants we sup- 
ply. These plants are 2 years old and have 
the size, strength, and hardiness that only 
2 year old plants can have. Remember they 
produced scores of blossoms last summer each 
from 6 to 12 inches in diameter and that when 
you receive them they are almost always start- 
ing into full bloom. Observe in the photo on 
page 3 the husky rhizome it bears, like that 
of a Hardy Lily, which enables it to get started 
in your pool with no loss of time even if the 
weather should turn cold and stormy after 
planting. Have these gorgeous plants in full

Note the strong woody rhizome 
our 2 year old plants bear. This 
is what gives them their vigor 
and early flowering qualities. 
It requires a year of growth to 
produce this type of rhizome 
which during the second year 
often branches into several ¢rowns 
for you. You will enjoy these ex- 
tra flowering crowns. 
flower before those purchased elsewhere are even started! They are a sight 
worth traveling far to see with their great, dark, purple-blue blossoms in- 
credibly as large as dinner plates. 
They bloom freely 
in the small pool 
with flowers in proportion. During the summer these plants often split up 
into several crowns each of which will flower as freely as the mother plant.

ROPICAL WATER LILIES will 
lift your garden pool out of the 
ordinary—make it the envy of your 
friends, the talk of the neighborhood. 
Yielding prodigiously of their bright- 
hued flowers, even one plant will 
quicken your enthusiasm. 
They grow with lush freedom as 
spring weather becomes settled and 
warm, and are in bloom almost from 
the day they are planted until the 
frosts of autumn. 
To fit the small pool they may be 
readily dwarfed by planting in small 
boxes (15 inches across), where they 
will flower just as freely but propor- 
tionate as to size. With room to de- 
velop they reach a size and grandeur 
few other plants ever attain.

Special 2 year old plants, $2.00 each. 
Vigorous young flowering plants, $1.75 each. 
A fine, large-flowered, pure white tropical lily that 
pleasingly contrasts with the blue and pink varieties. 
It blossoms with much freedom, the great white 
chalices burthening the air with their subtle fragrance. 
The photo above is of a three day old flower showing 
how the golden yellow stamens close over the cup as 
the flower ages. The white varieties are particularly 
beautiful in bouquets. It appreciates a rich, heavy, clay- 
loam soil.
