We Lotus- 
There is something fascinating about a Lotus. 
Symbolic of purity under temptation, so the 
followers of Buddha have said. 
In the Lotus we see beauty of form and har- 
mony 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 delightful 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 deep. 
Soil, a rich mixture of top soil and well rotted 
cow manure. 
Lotus are shipped from April 15th to June 15th.
