CULTURAL DIRECTIONS 
Place two inches of well rotted cow 
fertilizer on the bottom of the pond with 
two or three inches of garden soil on top 
of this. Dampen slightly and tamp down 
hard, after which spread half an inch of 
sand over the top to hold the dirt and 
fertilizer down. 
Plant the lilies about two feet apart. 
Usually 5 lilies will give splendid results 
in a 9'x9' pool. They should be planted 
so that the crown is just above the sur¬ 
face of the dirt in the pool. Fill the pool 
very slowly with water up to the top. 
The lilies will soon be on top with their 
new leaves and blooms. Put in fish, 
snails and small mosses, planting the 
moss on the bottom of the pool in the 
dirt. About twice a week fill the pool 
with water to take care of evaporation.
