THE LOTUS . . . 
There is something fas- 
cinating about a _ Lotus. 
Symbolic of purity under 
temptation stands the Lo- 
tus, so the followers of 
Buddha have said. 
In the Lotus we see beauty of 
form and harmony of color, great 
concave, shield-like leaves often 
2 feet in diameter, large buds 
borne on long stems 4 to 8 feet 
tall, enormous flowers with de- 
lightful fragrance. 
Lotus are perennial, coming up 
year after year. They should be 
planted in full sunlight at a depth 
of from 6 to 18 inches below 
water level in a container, which 
should be about 15 inches by 24 
inches and at least 10 inches
