DESCRIPTIONS OF NIGHT-FLOWERING VARIETIES 
C' 
V^Xorgeous display of brilliant color is the claim of the Night¬ 
blooming Lilies for recognition and a place in every pool. The designation “Night- 
bloomer” is a trifle misleading; specifically, the flowers close at midday, or when the 
sunlight becomes strongest, and open again in the afternoon. On cloudy days or in 
late summer, when the weather becomes cooler, they sometimes remain open through 
the twenty-four hours. 
The magnificently large, exquisitely colored flowers are deserving of greater popu¬ 
larity than they at present enjoy. These Lilies can be grown in the smallest of pools, 
in which case the leaves and flowers will be dwarfed, though the blooms lose none of 
their rich coloring; or in a large Pool, where with ample space they will produce con¬ 
tinuous blooms surpassing in size any of the other types of Lilies.

delightful fragrance. Victoria Lilies re¬ 
quire planting boxes three or four feet 
square or ample room in natural waters.

low as $7.50 each, and solicit inquiries 
from those whose water gardens provide
