GRASSYFORK LOTUS 
AND NILE 
GARDENS 
The Lotus (Nelumbium nucifera) was grown for centuries 
along the Nile, and was worshipped by the early Egyptians, 
so that it was popularly known as the Sacred or Egyptian 
Lotus. 
All varieties of Lotus bear leaves and flowers well 
above the water and may be used as centerpiece and corner 
plantings. They grow and flower equally well in urns or other 
containers if moisture is abundantly supplied. Seed pods of 
the Lotus are almost as attractive as the flowers which precede 
them. Leaves and seed pods of Lotus plants are often gilded 
or painted and made into unique interior decorative pieces. 
AMERICAN LOTUS (N. lutea). 
A native variety, popularly known 
as Water Chinquapin, having large 
cream-yellow flowers of a delight- 
ful fragrance. *Each, $2.00. 
SACRED OR EGYPTIAN LOTUS 
(N. nucifera). A hardy, vigorous, 
fragrant type having rose-tipped

man). An outstanding variety,
