SOxvIE CULTURE NOTES 
Place the lily pool in full sunshine, there will he more blooms 
and the plants will ^row better. 
Soak the new pool several times before puttini^ in fish. 
Do not use plant boxes that are too small, 20 fo 24 inohes square 
is right, water lily roots need surface room. 
Use rioh stiff garden loam that is not trashy, for the plant 
boxes, mix one pint of bone meal to each bushel of soil. 
Keep gold fish in the lily pool and no mosquitoes will be raised. 
Plenty of plants, some hardened plaster paris, and snails will 
keep the pool clear, run in some fresh water each week. 
Plant hardy lilies in April, or in the Summer months, plant 
tropical lilies anytime after June 1st. 
Settle plants into the soil with buds just out, top of soil 
should be about eight inches from surface of the water. 
Cover top of plant boxes with large gravel* so fish cannot dig 
out the lily roots, and retard their growth.
