NELUMBIUMS (Egyptian Lotus) 
"Lotus in my pool” 
This photograph was sent in by Mr. 
Sam Caldwell of Nashville, Tenn. For 
larger pools having enough space for the 
planting of lotus (a box 24 inches square 
and 12 inches deep is sufficient) they can 
be highly recommended. They are very 
hardy and multiply rapidly. While many 
plants do not bloom the first year, quite 
often these will make several flowers the 
first season.
