- Griffin, Mrs. L. E.'s Lily Pool in Harrison County
- Date:
- undated
- Description:
- Portrait of Mrs. L.E. Griffin sitting next to her lily pool in Harrison County. Caption reads 'I built 4 foot by 9 foot by 30 inch deep pool in front of a clump of shrubbery on a bank to give it a natural setting. The bottom and sides were cemented, with a shelf built in each end for shallow water plants. From the water line the back and sides were laid up of native stones, stones also circling the front. I did most of the work herself - my husband helped dig out the last few wheelbarrows of dirt, and was home long enough to smoothe down the last of the cement. A boy helped mix the cement. As soon as it was finished I filled it with water to set till spring, using a rubber hose from a faucet in cellar - have it drained the same way. I learned from her mother that a long stick placed in a rain barrel would keep it from bursting when frozen. It also works with a lily pool. While cement was setting I planted perennials and Dutch bulbs in front of shrubbery and around the pool. It has been a mass of bloom from crocus and grape hyacinth time until now (Sept. 30) when dwarf marigolds, petunias, etc. are in their glory.'
