WATER LILIES 
Write for our catalog of aquatic plants. We 
have been growing them since 1876 and have 
the largest collection of Hardy Water Li 
America. 
VIEW IN NURSERY 
To an enthusiast our growing grounds are of great interest. Here he 
may see many very rare or unique plants. It is economically impossible 
to catalog more than a portion of the collection which runs into the 
thousands. Our greenhouses, frames, lathhouses and flat yards are full 
of collectors’ items. You are cordially invited to visit us and browse 
when you visit California. Paramount is near Long Beach. See Shell, 
Union or Standard Oil maps of Los Angeles and vicinity where our
