CARE OF LILIES 
There is usually many questions asked a- 
bout Water Lilies. The following should prove 
beneficial: 
Plant the bulbs as soon as possible after re- 
ceiving them. Do not leave the bulbs exposed 
to the air or sun. Keep in wet mess or cover 
with wet burlap until ready to plant. A few 
hours in the sun will kill a water lily if the} 
roots have no protection. 3 
PLANTING DIRECTIONS 
One-fourth pound of bonemeal or sheep 
manure mixed with 1 ro 2 bushel of good gar- 
den soil sufficient for each lily, or the same a- 
mount of well-rotted cow manure. 
If you plant in boxes or recesses formed in 
the cemeut bottom of a pool, after putting in 
the manure, put one inch of sand or fine gravel 
over manure to keep manure from discoloring 
the water of the pool. 
After planting bulb, flood and keep flooded 
four to nine inches over bulbs. 
STORING 
Pack in wet moss and store in basement. 
Keep wet at all times. Can be grown in half- 
barrel or tub. 
Terms may be arranged for those wanting 
Lilies, but unable to buy at present,
