-Waterlilies and Aquatics 
Cultural Directions—Place 2 inches of well-rotted cow fertilizer on the 
bottom of the pond with 2 or 3 inches of garden soil on top of this. Dampen 
slightly and tamp down hard, after which spread a half an inch of sand 
over the top to hold the dirt and fertilizer down. Plant the lilies about 2 
feet apart. Usually five lilies will give splendid results in a 9x9 foot 
pool. They should be planted so ihat the crown is just above the surface 
of the dirt in the pool. Fill the pool very slowly with water up to the top. 
Put in fish, snails and small mosses, planting the moss on the bottom 
of the pool in the dirt. 
Orders amounting to $2.00 or more sent postpaid. Smaller orders, please
