Culture. Water lilies may be planted in tubs, boxes or in the bottom of your pool. 
Allow one cubic foot of earth or more to each lily. Soil should be 4 parts of rich garden 
loam to 1 part rotted cow manure. Commercial balanced garden fertilizer may be used in¬ 
stead at rate of 1 lb. per cubic foot soil. Plant crown even with top of soil, then cover with 
one inch of sand or gravel. Crown should be 6 inches to 1 foot below surface of water, al¬ 
though 2 feet of submergence is permissible for strong plants. Plant lilies 3 to 4 feet 
apart. Lilies may be left in the pool during the winter if roots do not freeze. Otherwise 
they may be stored in a cellar or deep trench but must be kept cool and damp. Protect 
from mice. Our own lilies winter outside but the pools do not freeze completely.
