(NELUMBIUM) 
THE 
SACRED 
LOTUS 
OR 
NELUMBIUM 
THE sacred flower of the Egyptians always com- 
■ mands interest and admiration, because of its 
sacred history, and beautiful large flowers, which 
are borne on long stems. The large leaves, often 
2 to 2^/2 feet in diameter, some floating on the water, 
others two or more feet above the water, and with 
the flowers still higher, form a never-to-be-forgotten 
sight. No place in our large gardens is more visited 
than the lotus ponds. We consider no water garden 
complete without the lotus. See small photo this 
page. These flowers remain open day and night 
and can be grown in tubs or pools. We offer them 
as below. 
If your pool is too full, you may still have a lotus. 
Plant it in a tub or half barrel. 
Remember in buying Lotus from us you get larger tubers, 
which will bloom the first year.
