Night-blooming Tropical Water lilies 
The blooms in this class open in the late afternoon and remain open practically all night. 
On cloudy days they may open in the forenoon and remain open for 24 hours. Because of the 
night-blooming habit these Waterlilies are distinctly novel. The colors are as fine as those of 
any of the Day-bloomers, and the flowers fully as attractive. Every pool should have at 
least one plant of the Night-blooming Tropicals.

Juno (Nympbaea dentala superba). A superb 
white variety, probably producing the largest 
blooms of any of the night-flowering class. 
$2 each. 
Lotus dentata. Blooms pure white, 8 to 10 
inches across, and produced freely. The petals 
open horizontally, giving the bloom a flat 
appearance. $1.25 each. 
MISSOURI. A superb new Waterlily intro¬ 
duced in 1933 by Mr. George H. Pring. The 
blooms are snowy white, unsurpassed by any 
other variety. Its young leaves are a light 
coppery brown when they first appear but 
soon develop to a dark green with deeply ser¬ 
rated edges. A supreme beauty, and a variety 
we highly recommend. $3.50 each. 
Devoniensis. Bright rosy red. Flowers from 8 
to 10 inches in diameter, carried on stems 
above the water, and it is not uncommon to 
have a dozen blooms at one time. $1 each.

reddish brown. Blooms from 8 to 10 inches 
across. $1.50 each.

isfactory

ty. $2 ea.
