BLUE TRIUMPH 
The Easiest Water Lily of All to Grow 
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 supply. 
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 starting into full 
bloom. Observe in the photo on the right 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

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 crowns for 
you. You will enjoy these extra 
flowering crowns. 
gorgeous plants in full flower before those purchased elsewhere are even 
started! They are a sight worth traveling far to see with their great, dark, 
purple-blue blossoms incredibly 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 en- 
thusiasm. 
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 proportionate as to size. With room 
to develop they reach a size and grandeur few other plants 
ever attain.
