vided the water is of suflicient depth so that it will not 
freeze to the crown of the plants. In cement tanks drain 
off all the water and fill in with leaves or cover with 
hoards and leaves or litter. The second spring after 
planting it will be advisable to transplant all such plants 
as have made a strong growth. This should be done by 
washing away most of the soil from the roots, removing 
all side growths and replanting the strong roots into fresh 
soil as before. The side growths, if planted two or three 
together, will also make flowering plants the same season. 
Lilies which are grown in beds of soil or in natural ponds 
will be much benelited by an application in spring of 
dried blood manure, broadcasted on the surface of the 
water at the rate of one pound to every ten square feet of 
surface. 
Nelubiums. The treatment is the same as recom¬ 
mended for hardy Nymphaeas, excepting that they do best 
when planted in mud or soil that is at least two feet deep 
and covered only with six inches of water. When 
planted with other aquatics there should be partitions of 
brick or boards, so as to confine the tubers, otherwise they 
will soon take possession of the entire pond. In planting 
place the tubers horizontally in the mud, so that the point 
will be merely covered. They are gross feeders, and 
should have dried blood manure applied each spring, as 
suggested above.
