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. Price, $1.00,
