TAYLOR’S 1935 FLOWER AND PLANT GUIDE 
AQUATIC PLANTS 
FOR THE LILY POOL 
WATER HYACINTHS— Fill bowl about half 
full of good soil. Pour in water until it will 
stand two or three inches deep. Place the lower 
roots in soil and let plants float in water. Has 
fine blooms borne on spike of bluish color, fine 
for fish bowls or outside pools. Will grow fine 
floating on top of water but will not bloom so 
well unless roots reach soil. Price, 15c; 2 for 
25c. 
Hardy Water Lillies 
Lillies are easy to plant, but it must be noted 
that they are to be set horizontally and not be 
put in up and down or they will likely fail to 
start. Just press them into the ground, cover¬ 
ing them with an inch of soil away from off the 
growing end. The soil should be well firmed 
around them. An inch of sand or gravel put on 
the top after they have been planted will help 
to keep the water clear and prevent the goldfish 
from rooting in the mud. A few days after 
planting if the water becomes dark and dis¬ 
closed from the fertilizer used, it will be well 
to drain the water off and fill up with fresh. 
In our own pools we always do this and recom¬ 
mend it particularly for small pools. We think 
it the most essential thing in establishing a 
pool. Hardy white, 30c.
