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 develop- 

 ment 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.
