Day blooming tropical lilies open and close 
their blossoms much as the hardies do, but 
differ in other ways. They are different in col- 
oring and structure, but they are different prin- 
cipally by an exotic, mysterious characteristic 
of their own which can not be described. 
Night-blooming tropicals have the same inde- 
scribable beauty, and to an even greater de- 
gree. In the darkness their glowing iridescent 
blooms—like fallen stars—give the night a 
magic, a peace and serenity that no other 
flower can. 
The tropical lilies will have been in pots for a few weeks and will have several leaves 
when they are received. They should be planted carefully without damaging the ball.
