Hardy Water Lilies can be sent any time from May Ist until the end of August, but tender Lilies not 
before June. Order early. 
A simple way to plant Water Lilies is on rich soil in boxes 2 feet square and | foot deep. Cow manure 
is the best fertilizer, but commerical fertilizers can be used. Place one Water Lily root in each box, cover 
the crown of the plant, then cover with an inch of sand or gravel, to prevent discoloration of the water, 
and sink the boxes in the pond.
