|Aquatic Plants for Aquariums 
There is a rapidly growing interest in the culture of fancy fish and aquatic 
| plants in aquariums, and 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. 
It is absolutely essential for the welfare of the fish that sufficient plants 
| be grown in the Aquarium to supply them with air, The list of plants 
offered below are the best known oxygenators, and there should be at least 
one plant to every two gallons of water. 
For full details of management we recommend the book, The Amateur 
'' Aquarist, a very practical work.
