Beautiful Lily Pool At Weimar, Texas
Planned and Built by Father Joe Hildebrand
A well known authority on lily
pools and landscaping after see*
ing this attractive lily pool said
that this was one of the best
planned and most beautiful pools
ever built by an amateur", which
opinion is agreed on by everyone
tha*. comes out to see it. Tis said
"that a thing of beauty is a joy
forever", therefore it is very
worthwhile for everyone to come
who is interested in the beauties
of nature, and enjoy them at
Weimar, and to enjoy the beauty
and fragrance of the water lilies
floating among the lily pads of
brilliant green, in lovely shades
of rose, coppery-red. blue and
snowy white and the flashing of
the gold:fish in the sunlight.
In May, 1931, Father Joseph
J. Hildebrand, familiary known
to everyone as Father Joe, de*
cided that the extensive lawn be-
tween the imposing church of St
Michael and 'the Rectory would
be an ideal place for a lily pool
and therefore went to work.Per*
sonally drawing up the plans
or the Blue Prints, for a hexago-
nal pool, each side six (6) feet
long, thirty-six feet in circum-
ference, twenty-eight (28) inches
deep, six (6) inches in thickness
through out; eleven and one-half
(11 Yi) feet in diameter. It is res
enlorced very heavily with 9teel
bars of 3-8 inch, placed 8 to 10
inches apart and that crosswise
The foundation was dug so that
the pool practically all would be
in the earth wiih only about six
inches above- All the digging
was done by Father Joe with the
the help of a few willing boys of
the parish. The cement work
was done by competent men, su-
pervised byMr.Albert Grohman.
a contractor of Weimar, Texas,
and that proved practically the
only expense, as all labor was
done gratis, through the kind-
ness of friends. Trucks were
loaned for the hauling of gravel,
rand and dirt. In about two days
time the pool was completed and
was allowed to "ripen" so that it
would be safe for the gold fish,
as the water must be changed at
least thren times before they are
put into a new cement pool. The
total cost of this pool for the gra-
vel, sand, cement and the lum*
ber necessary for the building
of the form and the pouring of
the cament was not more than
Fifty ($50). dollars.
One of the most necessary
things in a pool is the proper
drainage, an over-flow pipe is
also excellent, this pool can be
drained b.v merely a turn of a
faucet fix?d on the outside.
The drain should be covered with
screen wire so that none of the
fish will escape when the water
runs out. After the pool was
ready for the fish, Dr. Potthasfc
of Weimar was the first to come
and put In six nice fish as a sur-
prise for Father Joe, later a doz-
en giant gold fish were ordered
from Independence, Ohio, and
they arrived in excellent condi-
tion.In one year's time the num-
ber of fish increased from eigh
teen to eighty so that now the
pool is alive with fish ofgold,red,
white, some splotched with red
and white and some blank and
gold. L3t me mention here that
anyone who is desiring gold fish
for the stocking of his pool let him
go,or rather come to the St. Rosa
Catholic Rectory in Schulen-
burg, Texas, there he will re*
ceive all the infornation he needs.
To keep the water clear and
furnish shelter and food for the
fish,it is necessary to provide
oxygenating plants, these re-
quire soil, so that if possible it
is best to cover the bottom of
the pool with an inch of good
garden soil, with a layer of four
inches of clean sand on top of it.
This is the order for all theoxy
genating plants.The best way to
plant the hirdy lilies is in boxes
12x12 inches in size. When you
plant the bulb of the lily, do not
plant the bulb straight up and
down as you do with all other
flowers but plant it leaning ab an
angle of at least 45 degrees. Fill
these boxes with a mixture of
rich garden soil and rotten cow
manure. Finish the tops of
the boxes off with a layer
of sand about three inches
thick so the fish will not. be
able to soil the water in the pool
because every fish is a digger
and that is alsodane for the pro-
tection of the roots of the lily
plants. When the lilies have once
been planted right, then do not
interfere with their growth for a
year at least because it will hin-
der the lilies in their blooming,
lbe lilies will bloom longer and
better if tbey are planted in big
enough boxes and not dis-
turbed after they once begin to
grow.
After a year's time all lilies
that are hardy lilies must be
transplanted bccause their feed-
ers get so enormous and so num-
erous tnat the lilies would not
thrive the next year. All tropi-
cal liiies must be removed from
the pool during the cold season
of the year and kept in a warm
place of at least 80 degrees of
warmth. The reason for this re*
moval is that a person can never
tell what kind of weather might
set in, in the Sunny South Texas.
And a person who has bought
tropical some lilies knows what it
costs to get such a plant for his
pool. The difference between the
Hardy Lily and Tropical Lily
is this: the hardy lilies will run
feeders and will not freeze in
cold weather, and tropical lilies
will have only fine,thin roo'.s and
are apt to f retze in cold weather.
To keep the fish in good health
scavengers are a necessity as
tbey feed on the decaying vece-
table matter. These are snail*, a
few pair will soon stock the pool
and they are also good food for
the fish. Gold fish should be fed
twice a week, do not feed too
much or to often as over-feeding
is a prolific cause 'of ills. There
are many commercial fish, foods
on the market with directions.
Among the best oxygenating
plants are the"Water Hyacinth",
"Floating Fern","Parrot Feath
er", "the Sagittaria" and the
Water Poppy".
The water lilies that have prov-
en very satisfactory in Weimar
are the Indiana,a creamy yellow,
turning to dark crimson; the
Rose Aery, a deep cerise with
long curly petals;Marilac Carney
Pink, a vigorous lily of delicate
shade and lasting quality;Henry
Shaw, a lovely blue also a night
bloomer, and some plants of the :
Sacred Lotus raised from the
9eed. All these lilies are planted
in boxes and according to the
description above. The culture
of hardy lilies is so simple that it1
might almost be said "They just j
gro v themselves", their modest
requirements are sun, water and !
rich soil Their ideal depth is six
inches below tha water and not
deeper to get the best results.
After the pool was completed
the ground surrounding it was
leveled off with the hauling of
thirty seven truck loads of diit.
Ihen the walks and the flower
beds were made, these were
edged with flint rocks, forming
a lovely background lor the pool,
the gUaming water being like a
jewel set into a setting of flow-
ers and it cari b^ see n b.v anyone
who is willing to t ke the time to
go to Weimar and see it for
him or her self. Ad the stones
and gravel were tuuled by Father
Joa and the boys from Colum-
bus, a distance of 16 miles and
fitfeen loads were made.
lhe city of Weimar is located
onathe 0. S. T., Highway bss
tween Columbus and Schulen®
burg. The Rectory and the
Church of St. Michael's is only
two blocks off the Highway.Visi-
tors are always welcome.
