The two lily ponds at the Karori Soldiers’ Cemetery, laid out by the Government, are now completed, and are, a handsome improvement to the plot. The ponds are constructed of concrete, and are oval in shape. Some of the waterlilies were donated by the Auckland Racing Club, through Sir Edwin Mitchelson, M.L.C. The lilies are of the red variety. In addition there are eighteen varieties contributed by the Melbourne Botanical Gardens, and the Government purchased a very rare blue variety from South Australia. The goldfish in the ponds were presented by the Women’s National Reserve, which cares for the graves in the cemetery.
