WATER LILIES 
Hardy Oregon Grown Stock—Guaranteed to Grow 
Care and Culture—To plant, secure a box 2x2 feet square and 8 inches 
deep. Fill box with a compost of one-third well rotted barnyard manure or 
sheep guano, and two-thirds garden soil; then plant one lily in same, leav¬ 
ing crown above compost about two inches. Then put about one inch of 
sand over compost, leaving just the tip of crown of lily above sand. Where 
plants are placed on floor of pool without boxes, there should be about five 
inches of compost all over bottom of pool, and plants as in boxes. Never 
place lilies less than four feet apart for best results, and not over three 
lilies in a 5x8-foot pool. Few people know that water lilies can be planted 
with excellent results all through blooming season, or from April 1 to 
September 30. in most climates. Once planted they require no care for two 
years ; then they should be replanted and refertilized. Lilies will grow and 
bloom in five inches of water, but we recommend 18 inches to two feet of 
water above crown of plant. A pool of water lilies in your garden will 
give many years of pleasure, as they are practically no care, and they 
bloom from Spring until late Fall.
