WATER-LILIES 
Hardy Water-lilies can be sent any time from May 1 until the end of August, but tender Lilies not before June. Order early. 
A simple way to plant Water-lilies is on rich soil in boxes 2 feet square and 1 foot deep. Cow-manure is the best fertilizer, 
but commercial fertilizers can be used. Place one Water-lily root in each box, cover the crown of the plant, then cover with an 
inch of sand or gravel, to prevent discoloration of the water, and sink the boxes in the pond.
