Water Lilies and Plants 
The ease with which water 
lilies are grown requires no 
previous experience. All that 
is necessary is sunshine, still 
water, and rich soil, and not 
too much shade. Hardy wa¬ 
ter lilies give an abundance 
of bloom all summer, open¬ 
ing wide in the morning and 
closing in the afternoon, and 
we offer a color range in¬ 
cluding white, pink, red, and 
yellow. A water garden can 
be established in a half-tub. 
or a natural, or concrete pool, a foot of manure- 
richened soil in the bottom, and a foot of water over 
the lilies. For winter, lilies may be mulched with or 
without draining in the larger pool, or stored in the 
cellar, keeping them cool and moist. Plant from April 
till August.

low stamens, 5 to 6 inches in diameter. A desirable
