WATER LILIES 
The culture of Water Lilies is so simple that it might almost be 
said that “they just grow themselves.” Their modest requirements 
are sun, water and rich soil. In deciding on a place for a natural 
water-garden one is naturally led to select a low spot. 
It is not very difficult to construct an artificial pool. Any lo¬ 
cation that is available would be satisfactory, provided it is ex¬ 
posed to the full sun. 
An artificial pool should be made as large as possible, and 2 
feet deep. In California it is advisable to build the bottom and 
side walls of 6-inch water tight concrete. Make an artificial pool 
as natural as possible and avoid stern lines and too apparent ma¬ 
sonry. A generous planting of moisture-loving plants around the 
edge of the pool or pond will furnish an added charm to the plants 
in the pool itself. 
One foot of water over the soil is the most desirable depth in 
artificial pools. Some will thrive in shallower water, but few will 
stand a depth exceeding 2 or 3 feet. A continuous flow of water 
tends to keep the temperature in the pool low and must be avoided. 
After the pool is once filled it is only ncessary to replenish that 
which evaporates. 
A few Goldfish will serve to destroy the wrigglers that hatch 
into mosquitos and larvae of other insects.
