Culture. Hardy Waterlilies may be 

 planted from April on, tropicals after June 1. 

 Orders should be placed in advance for de- 

 livery at proper time. They should be planted 

 in full sunshine, in 12 inches of water. Pools 

 should be 24 inches deep and planting con- 

 tainers 14 inches square by 10 inches deep or

 and one part of well-rotted cow manure, 

 letting just the tip of the plant protrude. 

 Then cover with about 2 inches of sand.
