CULTURE 
Mix some old cow-manure 
with ordinary garden soil, cover 
the bottom of the pool lO to 12 
inches deep, and in planting 
just barely cover the crown of 
the plant; or make a box hold¬ 
ing about 2 cubic feet and fill 
with soil for each Lily. The box 
method makes it much easier 
to clean the pool.
