WATER LILIES 
The culture of Waterlilies is so simple that it might al¬ 
most be said that “they just grow themselves.” Their modest 
requirements are sun, water and rich soil. In deciding on a 
place for a natural water-garden, one is naturally led to select 
a low spot. 
It is not very difficult to construct an artificial pool. Any 
location that is available would be satisfactory, provided it is 
exposed to the full sun. 
An artificial pool should be made as large as possible, and 
2 feet deep. In California it is advisable to build the bottom 
and side walls of 6-inch water tight concrete. Make an arti¬ 
ficial pool as natural as possible and avoid stern lines and tou 
apparent masonry. A generous planting of moisture-loving 
plants around the edge of the pool or pond will furnish an 
added charm to the plants in the pool itself. 
One foot of water over the soil is the most desirable depth 
in artificial pools. Some will thrive in shallower water, but 
few will stand a depth exceeding 2 or 3 feet. A continuous 
flow of water tends to keep the temperature in the pool low 
and must be avoided. After the pool is once filled it is only 
necessary to replenish that which evaporates. 
A few Goldfish will serve to destroy the wrigglers that 
hatch into mosquitos and larvae of other insects.
