enough to satisfy an ever increasing desire and love 

 for them. 



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. Theif 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 wfiifF them every night of summer. 



Anniud Coreopsis 



We simply couldn't live without the gayety of 

 the annual coreopsis — called " calliopsis " by the 

 seedsmen, but fortunately flowers don't mind being 

 nicknamed.
