Plant These Fascinating Water 
Lilies for Variety in Your Pool! 
The name "Night Blooming" does not do these fascinat¬ 
ing Water Lilies full justice, for they are also the most 
brilliant objects in the garden during the morning hours, 
hardly closing before noon, and then reopening for several 
nights. They are a feast of color and the most brilliant 
reds, pinks, and snowy white imaginable. 
CULTURE: Do not plant them out around Chicago or New 
York before the first of June, for they need warm weather 
to grow. See that they are not too crowded—they need a 
clear space at l^ast 4x4 feet. Give them a warm, sunny 
spot, using a box 18 inches square and a foot deep, filled 
with rich garden loam and about 8 inches of water above 
the box. They bloom freely when established but take a 
little longer to flower than Blue Triumph. They are amply 
worth the extra care. 
EMILY HUTCHINGS 
It seems to start flowering sooner than any other variety 
and blossoms more abundantly and faithfully all summer 
long. The flowers reach 10 inches in diameter and the 
beautiful, glossy bronze leaves are an added joy. In color 
they are a most brilliant amaranth pink, a strik¬ 
ing color note. I particularly recommend this JOJl 
variety as the most satisfactory of all. I " * 11
