Those who saw the blossoming
last year of the Queen of Night,
the unusual plant in the Hotel Col
vile lobby, will be interested to
know that Mother" P. B. Dingle
has discovered that it will soon
bloom again. The Queen Of Night
blossoms but once year, and then
in . most spectacular fashion. 1t
belongs to the cactus family and is
most unattractive in appearance, but
when it does disclose what is within
it's ugly growths, it is very much
worth seeing. First there will be a
slight trembling and then the growth
will begin to vibrate, opening slowly
until there is seen a large white
flower Of ETHEREAL beauty, sometimes
as much as 80 inches in circumfer-
ence. It takes about two houre to
blossom, and stages its performance
at night. There are five knobs on
the plant, and one looks almost
ready to make its debut. 81
A play as varied as, the winds
as alluring as tropic night. See
