Suggestions for the Care 
of Your Lilies 
Harpy Linies may be planted any time from the 
Ist of April until the middle of August. 
Tropical Lilies may be planted when the tempera- 
ture averages seventy degrees or about May 25th. 
Waterlilies come into flower early in the season 
and bloom until frost. 
Concrete pools are best left full of water and 
covered with boards and straw. Hardy Waterlilies 
will winter in the pool if the water does not freeze 
deeply, but Tropical Lilies are best considered as 
annuals and purchased new each year. Hardy 
Lilies growing in boxes may be taken into a cool 
basement until Spring. Care to be taken not to 
allow them to dry out. 
Running water is neither necessary nor desirable 
and may retard the development of Waterlilies by 
keeping the temperature too low. 
New concrete pools should be filled with water 
and drained at least four (4) times before any fish 
or plants are introduced. 
Planting instructions are attached to every Water- 
lily tuber shipped.
