THE MAGNinCENT LILY OF THE NILE 
NELUMBIUM SPECIOSUM 
Nelumbium Speciosum 
So exquisitely beautiful was our 
Lotus pond this season that many un¬ 
solicited write-ups and numberless 
visitors and friends honored us with 
much attention and praise. Early in 
the Spring the mirrowed surface of 
the lake became a swaying sea of 
rich green leaves, which lifted their 
upturned faces to the sun; and soon, 
tight buds pushed their way above 
the level of the leaves to burst forth 
in gorgeous bloom. In a short time 
the pond was filled with these lovely 
blossoms, which resemble tremen¬ 
dous pink and white tulips with 
hearts of gold. Their magnificent 
beauty holds an admirer spellbound, 
and every true flower-lover should 
grow one. 
Where a natural pool is available, 
the tubers will grow and multiply 
rapidly. They are also well adapted 
to being grown in large tubs, and 
create quite a sensation when grown 
in this way. 
Try this rare and beautiful Lotus 
from Egypt and delight your neigh¬ 
bors and friends with something 
lovely and distinctly different. We 
offer guaranteed, healthy tubers $1.25 
each. Seeds 5c per packet.
