clay soil you may easily con- 
struct a serviceable pool by 
excavating to a depth of 2 
feet and thoroughly puddling 
the wet clay by tamping to a 
depth of 6 inches. When fin- 
ished it should be just about 
as watertight as concrete if 
thoroughly puddled. 
If your soil is not clay you 
may achieve the same results — 
by hauling in a 6 or 8 inch 
layer of good, Liars olay.

Pools are very simply built, the principal thing to remember being 
to have them about 2 feet deep, which allows a foot for the boxes or 
soil in which lilies are planted and 8 to 12 inches of water. Such a 
pool will give optimum results, though of course pools much shal- 
lower or much deeper are perfectly satisfactory. About 12 hours 
after the concrete is poured it may be water-proofed by painting it 
with pure cement mixed with water to the consistency of cream. 
The pool may then be filled with water and left for a week or so 
to cure.
