AQUATIC PLANTS FOR AQUARIUMS 



Cabomba Viridifolia ( Washington Grass). A pretty and 

 popular submerged plant; leaves brilliant, glossy green, fan- 

 shaped, and more beautiful than the most delicate fern. 25 

 cts. per bunch; $2.50 per doz. 



Cyperus Alternlfolius. An excellent plant for growing in 

 water or damp places, will thrive in any good soil, and always 

 presents a green and attractive appearance. 25 cts. each ; 

 $2. 50 per doz. 



Cyperus Papyrus {Papyrus Antiquorum). This is the 

 true Egyptian Paper Plant, 5 to 8 feet high, graceful and 

 striking. 50 cts. each. 



Eichhornia Crassipes Major ( Water Hyacinth). A very 

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

 in trusses like a Hyacinth. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Ludwigia Mulertti. One 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. 



It is doubtful if anything is more f.iscinating to the 

 young as well as to the older members of the household 

 than to watch the development of animal and plart 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.
