Nicotiana 



Next to these poppies our greatest dependence 

 is put in the nicotiana or night-blooming tobacco. 



After trying, as was our duty, all the shades ad- 

 vertised, we decided to cling only to the white affinis 

 variety. This is the flower paramount for your 

 night beauty. Grant Allen tells of its incandescent 

 property, a phosphorescence which makes it a beacon 

 light for the buccaneers of the night. 



Nothing is so absolutely entrancing as a corner of 

 these starry blossoms in the moon glow, with their 

 ever hovering, devoted swains, the moths. Their fra- 

 grance satisfies every craving of the human nose. 



By trimming back behind the seed pods, the nico- 

 tiana's blooming can be continued up to frost. Do 

 plant a mass of them near the veranda so you may 

 see them and whiff them every night of summer.
