AQUATIC 
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 Alternifolius. 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. 
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. 
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 aqua- 
ria. 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. i 
We have prepared a Leaflet giving complete directions for 
the cultivation of Hardy and Tender Water Lilies, Aquari- 
ui plants and other aquatics. Copies free on request. 
Anacharis Canadensis Gigantea (Elodea). A beauti- 
ful submerged plant, with dark green dvate leaves and 
light stems; of quick growth. The best oxygenator and a 
splendid Aquarium plant. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 
Sagittaria Natans. This plant is indispensable for the aquar- 
ium; its long, strap-like green leaves resemble the well-known 
Vallisneria. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 
Sagittaria Sinensis (Giant Sagittaria). Leaves dark green; 
broad and stronger than S. natans, and a freer grower; the 
best form for the aquarium. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 
Vallisneria Spiralis, Italian Type (Eel Grass). A submerged 
plant with long ribbon-like leaves. This is the best of the 
Vallisnerias, a free grower, and a good oxygenator. 25 cts. each;
