THE BELMONT, LOTUS.
One Of the fayorite plants OF Mrs. o.
II. Z. Belmont is a pink lotus. 1t is a
water flower but so prolific that il will
grow in a tub il properly planted" The
lotus has immense flowers upon it and
these flowers rear their heads teveral
feet above the low-lyins leaves. Outside
they are a lovely pink, but inside the
color changes TO a delicate canary yell
low. 1t Is so fragrant that it perfumes
the air FAR around. The leaves measure
three feet across in the ordinary speci-
mems.
The culture OF these lotus flowers and
water plants j. extensively carried on by
Mrs Belmont, who is botanist OF great
learning. At her daughters wedding she
showed her taste in lAces, and in her
gardening she exhibits her knowledge OF
plants, particularly Egyptian and tropi-
cal Ones. The recent transfer Of Mr..
Belmonts property 10 her was probably
effected in order that she might let her
exquisite taste run random with the fora
of the immense country estates.
The late Jay Gould and the living Char
les A. Dana are said to be the only men
within a century who have cultivated rare
plants and flowers becauss they loved
them, rigidly adhering to their rule not
to part with one for any consideration
of money. Both brought their learning
