MOST ENJOYABLE OF ALL 
YOUR pool will put on evening dress every night if you plant these 
majestic varieties of night-blooming lilies. There is something 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-blooming lilies will surely make your pool 
a show place during the hours when the grounds are most usually 
i enjoyed by family and guests. Vigorous, five-inch pot plants, guaran- 
teed to grow. Read our liberal guarantee, page 3.
