The CULTURE of WATER LILIES 
Very Important 
Three conditions that are necessary for the 
Water Garden. 
First—SUNSHINE. The water garden must have 
at least half of the day's hot sun. 
Second—UNDISTURBED WATER. Water lilies 
will not grow in running water. Just fill up the 
evaporation. Do not change the water in the 
Pool during hot weather. 
Third—PLENTY OF GOOD SOIL. Water lilies 
are heavy feeders and should have at least four 
cubic feet of well fertilized soil to each plant. This 
amount will carry them through the third season. 
Preparation —Any good garden soil mixed with 
about one-fifth of well rotted cow manure; spread 
over the floor of the small pools to a depth of 10 
to 12 inches; cover the top with one inch of sand 
and level off well. 
We are always glad to give any advice regarding 
the construction and cultivation of water gardens.
