Hardy Nymphaeas may be sown either in fall or spring in the shallow places on the margin of natural ponds, where, if conditions are favorable, they will germinate and soon become estab- lished. Nelumbiums should have a small hole cut through the shell of each seed with a sharp knife. Tender Nymphseas may be sown in spring in pots or pans, using any good potting soil; cover the seeds with one-fourth inch of sand, give a thorough watering, and al- low to drain for an hour, then submerge in water as near 70° as possible. Two inches of water over the soil is sufficient. As soon as the seedlings have made two leaves, put them singly into small pots, and when well rooted repot into 4- or 5-inch pots, from which size they may be planted into their flowering quarters during May and June.
