This diagram illustrates a very suitable plan for 
planting large Pools, showing how the taller 
growing plants serve as corner and center pieces. 
Large Pools will provide considerable latitude 
in the arrangement of plants. The Goldfish and 
Scavengers offered in our collections are correct 
for balanced aquatic life, which is essential to 
keep the water clear and to promote suitable 
soil conditions for the plants.

These complete Pool collections do not include Perennials for the reason that many Water Gardens 
arc planned without provision being made for Perennials and Rock Plants about the borders and

Pool, we offer a very choice selection of Perennials and Rock Plants on page 19.
