NIGHT BLOOMING 
WATER LILIES 
JUNO 
These fascinatingly exotic liles are the 
most brilliant and colorful flowers in the 
entire garden during the sunny morning 
hours. They open in the evening when you 
may enjoy them and remain open until al¬ 
most the following noon. The flowers have 
the most gorgeous colors, hot glowing reds, 
snowy whites, soft pinks, a veritable riot of 
brilliance. The blossoms are large, the plants 
easy growers.

SEEDS OF TROPICAL WATER LILIES 
DO NOT COUNT ON EARLY BLOOM FROM SEED 
For those who care to experiment with 
raising water lilies from seed we offer 
a selection of the best Tropical kinds, as 
very few Hardy Lilies bear seed. They 
will flower the first year. 
In choosing a soil use a heavy loam. 
Do not add either cow manure or leaf mold, as the 
decaying matter will bubble and ferment, causing 
the young plants to damp off. They may be planted 
in a box, pan or pot, firming the earth down well, 
scattering the seeds thinly and covering lightly not 
more than the thickness of the seeds. Fine sand 
i== a Emod covering. Stand the pot in water till 
thoroughly soaked, then submerge gently to a depth 
of 6 inches. 
The seed may be sown outdoors in June or, if 
sown early, in a pail in a warm, sunny window, 
planting out in June. Seed should be germinated at 
a temperature of 70 to 78 degrees. 
I planted the lily seed on April 28th and behold 
today (July 8th) found a fine bloom, a most beau¬ 
tiful blue. I think that is a fine record, blooms from 
seed in 70 days. MRS. A. C. THOMPSON, 
Del Rio, Texas.
