\ itfj^V. I ar >d no decoration, whether in the conservatory, hall or sitting room, 



is complete without them.

 tion. The plant is of vigorous growth, and its gracefully. re- 

 curving leaves, with very narrow dark green pinnae give it a 

 lightness and airiness not surpassed, if equalled, by Cocos 

 Weddeliana; at the same time it is as hardy as a Kentia, suc-

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. (Cultural Leaflet on request.)
