Yellow Sacred Bean

Yellow Sacred Bean (Nelumbium) - N. luteum is the hardiest known Sacred Bean, and therefore the one most interesting for northern gardens. Its large blossoms are a pale yellow, and its large round leaves arise boldly out of the water 3 to 4 feet. I have seen it flower strongly in the Garden of Plants at Paris; it remained out all the winter in a fountain basin in a sheltered and warm nook in the open air. It would probably flower out of doors in a sunny and sheltered spot in the south of England. It is rare, but may be procured from some nurseries, or from America.
