Egyptian Lotus—(Nelumbium Speciosum). (Pink). American Lotus— (Nelumbium Lutea). (Yellow). 
An excellent variety, very hardy and free grow- 
ing. The blossoms are very attractive in their 
pink and white coloring, and possess a haunting 
fragrance. Originated in India and taken to the 
Valley of the Nile where it became the sacred 
flower of the ancient Egyptians.

Sometimes called the Water Chinquapin in parts 
of this country where it grows in the wild. The 
rich yellow flowers frequently attain a diameter 
of 8 to 10 inches. This certainly is a very hardy 
and robust grower. We do not hesitate to rec- 
commend this fine variety.
