NIGHT BLOOMING VARIETIES 
“Come into the garden, Maud, 
For the black bat, night, has /loiun, 
Come into the garden, Maud, 
1 am here at the gate, alone . . . 
1 said to the lily "There is but one 
With whom she has heart to be gay. 
When will the dancers leave her alone? 
She is weary of dance and play.” 
— Alfred, Lord Tennyson. 
Y ES, come into your garden! Come even 
at dawn, but come to the pool! Come, 
see the night blooming lilies! They open 
at dusk each evening, and through the whole 
night, and early morning, lift their immacu¬ 
late heads in full bloom, high above the sur¬ 
face waters of life. Can any real garden 
lover forego the lure of the night blooming 
water lily? 
Night blooming Tropical Water Lilies 
come in three shades; white, pink, and red. 
They are just as easy to grow as their day 
blooming cousins. The only difference being 
the time they have chosen to bloom;—like 
many young maids,—these flowers sleep dur¬ 
ing the day, to bloom gayly at night!
