There were hosts of admirers around the water tanks of E. D. Sturtevant, of Bordentown, New Jersey. His flowers drew hundreds to see the exhibition. He has succeeded in naturalizing the famous Egyptian Lotus, and he had scores of their beautiful red blossoms, with numerous parasol-like leaves on stalks 5 or 6 feet long, giving one an excellent idea of the appearance of ancient Nile. Our own native yellow species bore it company; and there was a variety from Japan, with white flowers, but with a border of crimson at the edge of the petals. The celebrated Victoria regia occupied another tank, with a leaf between 5 and 6 feet across. A number of the blossoms were also there; but on this occasion, Egypt with her Lotus, bore away the palm of popular applause from the queen of the Amazon. Two Sagittarias - one single, with a dark spot at base, S. Mont-vidiensis, and one a double form of the common wild one, attracted the attention of the curious.
