DIGGING LOTUS ROOTS 
All of our Sacred Lotus roots are freshly 
dug as we fill your order. Since they bury 
themselves 1 to 2 feet deep in the mud, 
when forming tubers in the fall, it is a 
slow and meticulous business to dig them. 
See page 10 for Lotus Culture.

THE EGYPTIAN LOTUS 
(Nelumbium speciosum) 
This magnificent Oriental aquatic has been grown in the temple gardens of 
India and China for thousands of years. It is reverenced as a symbol of the soul 
which, like the flower, rises above the mud of mundane things to flower in the 
sunshine of heaven. The immense pink blossoms reach a foot in diameter and 
breathe a sweet, haunting fragrance as of musk and sandalwood redolent of the 
languorous east. Throughout America the Lotus grows luxuriantly and is perfect! 
hardy anywhere. Start in water 4 to 6 inches deep planting shallowly and avoiding 
fresh animal manures. From the banana-like root they send out long, 
rope-like runners which bear a leaf and flower at each joint. $] 50 
TUBERS EACH...
