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. 
Anacharis Canadensis Gigantea (Giant Water Wed ). A 
beautiful submerged plant with dark green ovate leaves and 
light stems; of quick growth. The best oxygenator and a 
splendid Aquarium plant. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz. 
Cabomba Virldifolia (Washington Grass). A pretty and 
popular submerged plant; leaves brilliant, glossy green, fan¬ 
shaped, regularly cut and more beautiful than the most deli¬ 
cate fern. 10 cts. per bunch ; $1.00 per doz. Pot plants, 25 
cts. each. 
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. 15 cts. 
and 25 cts. each ; $1.50 and $2.50 oer doz. 
Eichhornia Crassipes Major ( Water Hyacinth'). A very 
showy floating aquatic, bearing flowers of a delicate lilac-rose

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. 
Myriophyllum Proserpinacoides ( Parrot's Feather ). 
Long, trailing stems, clothed with whorls of the most exqui¬ 
site foliage, as delicate as the Cypress Vine. Planted in 
water-tight hanging-basket, so water can be kept standing on 
the surface, it will trail finely. 10 cts. each ; $1.00 per doz.

Aquarium; its long strap-like green leaves resemble the
