VAN NESS WATER GARDENS, Upland, California 
NIGHT BLOOMING TROPICALS 
The Aristocrats of the Water Garden. Like many young- 
maids, these flowers sleep during the day, to bloom gayly at 
night, and during the early morning hours are the most 
beautiful flower in the garden, often staying open until 
noon. The blossom begins to unfold as the sun goes down 
and is especially satisfactory for the working man or woman, 
who would not see the open blossom of a day blooming lily. 
Shipping time is the same as for Day-hloomers.
