Grow Our Dairy Fertilized Lilies. 

Planting Somptuosa Lilies 
Generally only small 
and medium sized roots 
are planted. Most of the 
large roots are sold. The 
roots are merely pressed 
into soft mud, the rotted 
dairy fertilizer having 
previously been stamped 
into the mud by treading 
back and forth across the 
pool in hip boots. 
Our Water Lilies are grown in soil enriched with 20% to 30% 
rotted dairy fertilizer. This gives the largest roots that it is pos- 
sible to grow. 
For growing and propagating Hardy Water Lilies, nothing will 
take the place of rotted dairy fertilizer for developing large roots 
and buds. We do not recommend it to our customers, however, as 
it usually discolors the water green, due to algae growth. For cus- 
tomers, we recommend our own scientifically balanced KELLOGG’S 
PERFECTION. (See below.) This scientifically balanced fertilzer 
will not cause green discoloration in your pool. 
Dumping In the Rotted Dairy Fertilizer 
(See picture at right.) This is the most important step in grow- 
ing Hardy Water Lilies, and for it many tons of well-rotted dairy 
fertilizer are used each season, our Lilies being grown in the center 
of one of the Nation’s largest dairy sections, where the rotted dairy 
fertilizer is easy to obtain at low cost. 
Here Is The Amazing Result 
In the picture at the right, two roots are shown. The small 
one is the average root as grown in ordinary pond soil by 
most growers. 
Please note: (1) Only roots which are 
pulled in early May or later have buds de- 
veloped. 
(2) The following Hardy varieties form 
only slender roots and may or may not be 
budded when you receive them: Rose Arey, 
Pink Opal, Gladstone, Pearl of the Pool, 
Snowball, and W. B. Shaw. Remember 
you'll receive the largest roots grown when 
you order of Kellogg! 
The large root is an average root as 
grown for us. Only roots grown in soil en- 
riched with 20% to 30% rotted dairy ferti- 
lizer ever reach such gigantic size. These 
roots will give you two to three times more 
blooms than just ordinary roots! Note the 
many buds on the large root which was 
grown with rotted dairy fertilizer, and the 
single bud on the other. (Please read note 
at left.)
