they have grown and bloomed splendidly. You may 
grow them just as easily. 
Their Beauty Is Enjoyable

Dear Sirs: 
My Egyptian Lotus is planted in a tub. 
It has been a wonderful plant; the bloom 
last year being on stems 6 feet in height. 
They had 5 huge blossoms at one time 
and were the center of much interest.

Dear Sirs: May 28, 1935. 
The Lilies which I purchased from 
you withstood 38° below during January

I have had very good luck with your 
plants. I have 3 Hardy Lilies that stood 
a temperature of 35 degrees below zero 
a year ago this last winter.

LOTUS IS EASY TO GROW, THRIVING AND FLOWERING IN TUBS. 
DO NOT FAIL TO PLANT IT. 
These Lotus Flowered Freely 
At right: “The Red Lotus had 6 blooms 
and the Sacred and Sunrise Queen flow¬ 
ered freely also. The Blue Triumph is 
constantly in bloom.” 
J. E. WILKINSON, M.D. 
Prattville, Alabama 
T hroughout America the 
Lotus grows luxuriantly 
and is perfectly hardy 
everywhere. This queen of aqu¬ 
atic flowers with its stately 
beauty thrives abundantly dur¬ 
ing our warm summer months, 
sending up its great shield¬ 
shaped leaves sometimes to a 
height ot 6 feet. The gigantic 
blossoms, almost a foot across, 
overtop the leaves. They re¬ 
quire the same general treat¬ 
ment as water lilies, growing in water from 6 to 12 inches 
deep. They like to be started in from 4 to 6 inches of water 
but after they take hold will thrive in even 2 feet. Give them 
a rich heavy loam, avoiding fresh manure, until they are 
growing. From the banana-like root they send out long 
runners which send up a leaf and a flower at each joint. 
SACRED LOTUS. This magnificent Oriental flowering aquatic has 
been grown for thousands of years. Here it is grown for its exotic 
beauty and the splendor of its flowers. In India and China it is 
grown about the Temples where it is reverenced as a symbol of the 
soul. The immense pink blossoms reach a foot in diameter and exhale 
a sweet haunting fragrance as of musk and sandal¬ 
wood redolent of the languorous East. Customers THE SACRED 
throughout America write to us their great satisfac¬ 
tion in growing and flowering the $ 1 50 
strangest of water plants. 1
