Egyptian Water Garden Egyptian Sacred Lotus . . . Speciosum 
(Pink). American Lotus— (Nelumbium Lutea). (Yellow). 
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. 
Egyptian Lotus—(Nelumbium Speciosum). 
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.
