Nelumbiums should have a small hole cut through the shell of each seed with a sharp knife. Tender Nymphaas 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 thor- ough watering, and allow 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 four or five-inch pots, from which size they may be planted into their flowering quarters during May and June.
