“The Care of your Water Leties! 
Hardy Lilies may be planted any time from the lst of April until the middle 
of August. 
Tropical Lilies may be planted when the temperature averages seventy 
degrees or about May 25th. 
Water lilies 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 Water lilies 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 de- 
velopment of Water Lilies 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.
