A water garden can be established in a natural 
or concrete pool, or even in a half tub, providing at 
least a cubic foot of manure-richened soil for each 
lily. The crowns of water lilies should be at least six 
inches below the top of the water. With fairly quiet 
water and plenty of sunshine, the lilies bloom all 
summer long. For winter, water lilies may be mulch¬ 
ed with or without di'aining the pool, or stored in the 
cellar, keeping them cool and moist. 
PLANTING SUGGESTIONS 
A first essential for the life and growth of a tree 
or plant is that it be well grown in the nursery and 
safely delivered to you. Equally important is the 
planting and care of nurs.ery stock later. We want 
every plant sold by us to grow satisfactorily, so we 
are interested in having you give it the best possible 
care after it leaves us. 
It is important to get th,e plant back into the 
ground as soon as possible after it is dug. The roots 
should be kept covered and moist at all times, so if 
several hours or days must elapse before you can 
plant, it is advised that the roots b,e fully covered 
temporarily with soil in a hole or trench and moist¬ 
ened. 
Dig all the holes for your trees and plants plenty 
large, with the sides straight down, and loosen the 
soil in the bottom. A good rule is, “The harder the 
hole is to dig, the larger it needs to be.” If poor soil, 
gravel, paster, bricks or rubbish are encountered it 
is imperative that such be removed and replaced with 
good soil. New plants will not do well too close to 
fast growing trees where the soil is filled with tree 
roots. 
In planting, place loose top soil carefully 
around the roots as the plant is held in position in 
the hole, spreading the roots out in a natural position, 
the planting depth should usually be the same or a 
little deeper than original depth in the nursery. Then 
thoroughly soak the soil with water clear to the 
bottom of the roots. This settles ti e loose soil around 
the roots.
