Queen of the Night 
EPHYPHYLLUM 
E. oxypetalum. (QUEEN OF THE NIGHT.) This mar- 
velous plant bears blossoms of such beauty as to be 
breath-taking. Each blossom measures from 8 to 10 
inches. The outside petals are a soft coral pink, the flow- 
er of snowy whiteness. The many stamens are placed so 
they look like a cradle. Because of this the flower is some- 
times called ‘‘Angels cradle.’ Blooms from June to Sept. 
Small plants, 50c; large, $1.00. Illustrated lower left.

ance, cascades of white stemens. Spineless flat leaves with

E. rosy morn. Leaves flat with masses of shell pink blos- 
soms literally covering the plant, blossoms lasting for 
days. Blooms over a long period. 25c.
