A CHARMING GARDEN AND POOL 
A scene in the beautiful garden of Mrs. B. P. Owen, 4049 Con- 
necticut 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 Bloom- 
ing 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 bet- 
ter this way. The hardy lilies are left out all winter and thrive 
on this treatment. 
RED AND CRIMSON SHADES

RED MARLIAC. This handsome variety was raised many years ago 
in France. The very bright red blossoms have crepe-like petals 
greatly admired. Grows so well and flowers so freely it deserves a 
prominent place in your pool. $2.00.

JAMES HUDSON. Large, rosy-carmine blossoms. A very rare and Very hardy and ‘frea in blooms setae 2. ee $2.00 
beautiful variety. $2.50. tia 
NEWTON. A remarkable and quite unusual flower for though it is 
very hardy yet the blossoms appear quite like a Tropical Lily, stand- 
ing 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 particularly 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 ac- 
commodate itself to even the smallest tub garden. $1.50. 
PAUL HARIOT. Illustrated in color on page 5. A very attractive variety 
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. 
AURORA. A bright vari-colored blossom. Semi-dwarf. $1.00.
