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 east 
window during the winter. 
We have prepared a Leaflet giving complete directions for 
| the cultivation of Hardy and Tender Water Lilies, Aquarium 
plants and other aquatics. Copies free on request.
