THE CARE OF YOUR 
Water Lilies 
Hardy Lilies may be planted any time from the lst 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.
