How to Plant Water Lilies 
Full sunlight on the pool will induce better growth and best blooms. Plant your water lilies in a box, wooden pail or tub, usi 
one-fourth well rotted mamure to three-fourths garden loam. Cover the roots carefully, the crown even with the surface, then 
tamp one inch layer of sand or gravel over the top to keep water clear. Start in shallow water, increasing the depth to 8 or 
inches as plant becomes established. Each lily should have at least one cubic foot of soil. A pool six by six will nicely ac 
modate four lilies and the necessary floating and bog planis. 
FERRIS’ WATER LILIES AND PLANTS ARE ALL POSTPAID. Grown in northern ponds, they are ready to ship 
late April or May.
