W^ater Xily Seeds. 



u Hardy Nymphaeas may be sowa 



either in fall or spring in the shal- 

 low places on the margin of natural 

 ponds, where, if conditions are favor- 

 able, they will germinate and soon 

 become established. 



Nelumbiums should have a small 

 hole cut through the shell of each 

 seed with a sharp knife. 

 /i Tender Nymphseas may be sown 

 in spring in pots or pans, using any 

 good potting soil, cover the seeds with 

 one-founh inch of sand, give a thor- 

 ough watering, and allow to drain for 

 an hour, then submerge in water as 

 near 70° as possible. Two inches of water 

 over the soil is sufficient. As soon as the 

 seedlings have made two leaves, put them- 

 singly into small pots, and when well rooted 

 repot into four- or five-inch pots, fiom which 

 size they may be planted into their fiowermg 

 quarters during May and June. per pkt.
