The latest gardening fad is a LILY POOL in the yard and much pleasure is derived from 
this idea. A garden pool relieves the formality of the old-fashioned garden and opens 
up a brand new hobby for those who are looking for something new and appealing. 
WATER LILIES are perfectly hardy in Colorado, being found in many of our high-alti- 
tude lakes where their beauty adds much to the attractiveness of such places. 
WATER LILIES should be first planted in pots, filled with good garden soil and a 1 in. 
layer of coarse sand or gravel over the top to prevent the soil from washing out 
and muddying the water. Sink pots about one foot below the surface of the water. In 
winter the pots may be removed and placed in your basement where the plants will keep 
nicely with an occasional watering. Concrete pools are best, but not necessary. Any old 
tub or tank will make a nice pool if 2 ft. deep or more.
