Book Description

Excerpt from Choice Fruit and Ornamental Trees, Shrubs, Vines and Flowering Plants, 1929 The culture of waterlilies is so simple that it might almost be said that they just grow them selves. Their modest requirements are sun, wa ter, and rich soil; In deciding on a place for a natural water - garden, one is naturally led to select a low spot. It is not very difficult to construct an artificial pool. Any location that is available would be. Satisfactory, provided it is exposed to the full sun. An artificial pool should be made as large as possible, and 2 feet deep. In California it is advisable to build the bottom and side-walls of 6 inch water tight concrete. Make an artificial pool as natural as possible and avoid stern lines and too apparent masonry. A generous planting of moisture loving plants around the edge of the pool or pond will fur nish an added charm to the plants in the pool itself.
