Hardy Water 
Lilies 
Location Sunshine and unchilled, undis- 
‘ turbed water are essential. 
Soil Should be mellow clay loam, fertilized 
' with one-fourth well-rotted cow manure, 
about 12 inches deep. Horse and sheep ma¬ 
nures , are dangerous to use. Of commercial 
fertilizers, Vigoro is probably as good as any. 
•Water Any clean water will do, not in strong 
™ motion ; its depth above soil not ar¬ 
bitrary, but 12 inches is best. 
Planting The longer roots should be firmed 
1 into the dirt slanting or flat, but 
set all shapes, so that the crown is even with 
the surface of soil. In case the pull of spread¬ 
ing leaves, or other disturbance loosens the 
root-hold, poke them back and refirm the soil 
or further bind them down with stones. 
The average space to allow for plants is 
about 2 feet square. 
Original propagation is slow ; S. & H. Lily 
roots are two or more years old, and ready to 
bloom. Shipping may commence about April 
first, and is practical up to the first of June. 
Established pools with a good assortment, be¬ 
gin showing flowers in May, each of an aver¬ 
age five-day existence, with unbroken con¬ 
tinuance and varying extravagance, until 
late fall.

Plant a Pool! 
The growing of Water 
Lilies has always seemed 
to average small-lot gar¬ 
deners, as something too 
exotic and mysterious for 
them to attempt, or too 
expensive for their bud¬ 
geted investments. Have 
no fear. The pond, pool 
or tub is not really ex¬ 
pensive; construction, 
planting and maintenance 
are actually simple; 
prices of choice stock are 
now greatly reduced ; and 
the plants are practically 
self-supporting and safe¬ 
ly hardy.
