Aquatic Plants for Aquariums 



It is doubtful if anything is more fascinating to the 



young, as well as to the older members of the household, 



than to watch the development of animal and plant life in 



the aquaria. Fish will not thrive unless enough plants are 



growing to furnish them with oxygen. To do this there 



should be not less than one plant to every two gallons of 



water. The ideal temperature is about 50 degrees, and a 



shady corner, or a window facing north, is best during the 



summer, and an tast window during the winter. 



Anacharis Canadensis Gigantea (Gim.t Water 



Weed). A beautiful submerged plant, with dark green 



ovate leaves and light stems; of quick growth. The 



best oxygenator and a splendid Aquarium plant. 15 



cts. each; $1.50 per doz. 



Cabomba Viridifolia ( Washington Grass). A pretty 

 and popular submerged plant; leaves brilliant, glossy 

 green, fan-shaped, and more beautiful than the most 

 delicate fern. 10 cts. per bunch; $1.00 per doz. ; pot 

 plants, 25 cts. each. 



Cyperus Alternifolius. An excellent plant for growing 

 in water or damp places; will thrive in any good soil, and al- 

 ways presents a green and attractive appearance. 15 cts. and 

 25 CIS. each; $1.50 and .$2.50 per doz. 



Eichhornia Crassipes Major ( WalerHi/arinth). A very 

 showy floating aquatic, bearing flowers of a delicate lilac-rose 

 in trusses like a Hyacinth. 15 Cts. each; $1.50 per doz. 



Ludwigia Hulerttii. < )ne of the prettiest of the submerged 

 plants. The small, ovate leaves, green above and pink on 

 the under side, are very attractive and entirely distinct from 

 all other aquarium plants. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Myriophyllum Proserpinacoides {Pa?n-ot's Feather). 

 Long, trailing stems, clothed with whorls of the most ex- 

 quisite foliage, as delicate as the Cypress Vine. Planted in 

 ■water-tight hanging baskets, so water can be kept standing on 

 the surface, it will trail finely. 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz. 



Sagittaria Natans This plant is indispensable for the 

 aquarium, its long, strap-like green leaves resemble the well- 

 known I'allisneria. 15 cts. each; §1.50 per doz. 



Sagittaria Sinensis {Giant Sagittaria). Leaves dark 

 green; l)roader and stronger than 8. Natans, and a freer 



. grower; the best form for the aquarium. 15 cts. each; 

 $1.50 per doz. 



Salvinia Braziliensis. This is a pretty little floating 

 aquatic. The leaves are of a soft green, covered with a deli- 

 cate hairy surlace. 15 cts. per bunch; $1.50 per doz. 



Vallisneria Spiralis Italian Type (Eel Grass). A sub- 

 merged plant with long ribbon-like leaves. This is the best 

 of the Vallisnerias, a free grower, and a good oxygenator. 

 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz.
