Water-Lilies 
I N a natural pond, Water-Lilies should be 
planted where the water is not over 2 feet 
deep. Simply push them under the soil, 
or if the mud is too soft to hold them, anchor 
with a stone. In artificial pools they may be 
planted in boxes or tubs containing at least a 
cubic foot of soil—more soil is better. The 
crown of the plant should be just even with 
the surface of the soil, then cover with an inch 
of sand or gravel to keep the water clean. If 
desired, the bottom of the pool can be covered 
■with soil to any depth wanted and the roots 
planted as in a pond. Young Lilies will start 
best if the water is less than a foot deep, so 
the sun’s warmth can reach them; later it can 
be increased to 1L 2 to 2 feet. The best soil 
for Water-Lilies is three parts good loam to 
one part cow-manure, prepared some time 
before use, if possible.
