fanciful about the way the dazzling blooms open as the others are 
closing in sleep, and remain open all night, reluctantly closing the 
next morning when the sun again gets bright On cloudy days they 
sometimes remain open all day as well Night-bloommg hlies will 
surelv make your pool a show place during the hours when the 
grounds are most usually enjoyed by family and gu^ts. Vigorous, 
five-inch pot plants, guaranteed to grow. Read our liberal guara

WHITE 
(V. Trickeri.) An 
T --- interesting aquatic 
plant characterized by enormous leaves, often 
6 feet across, with the edges turned stiffly 
erect to the height of 3 to 8 inches The 
weight of a man is easily supported by the 
leaves. Victorias thrive under the same con¬ 
ditions as the tender lilies but for full de¬ 
velopment require plenty of space. 
A variety which does well with proper 
care in the latitude of Cleveland. The flow¬ 
ers are enormous, 15 to 18 inches in diam¬ 
eter, opening white on the evening of the 
first day, and closing the middle of the fol¬ 
lowing morning. On the second day the 
flower opens about four o clock in the after¬ 
noon and is colored a deep Pink. The fra¬ 
grant flowers smell very much like a ripe 
pineapple. Adapted only to very large pools 
or natural ponds where they are very showy.
