Xelumeiums 



Nelumbiums 



This class of plants is among the most worthy of cultivation, being 

 about the most decorative, as well as the most interesting plant to the 

 Aquatic grower. The foliage itself, being of a peculiar bluish green, 

 covered with a light bloom like a peach, lends enchantment to any garden, 

 aquatic or otherwise. The flowers are very large, exquisitely tinted, and 

 with a delicate, yet oriental perfume. These plants are sold as dormant 

 tubers, and should be planted in shallow water, with plenty of rich soil, 

 and only after settled warm weather in the spring. They are perfectly 

 hardy after once being established. 



Nelumbium speciosum (Egyptian Lotus). The easiest of all Lotus Each 

 to grow. The flowers are large, of a deep rose color, shading to 

 cream at base of petals. (See page 13)
