AQUATIC PLANTS AND GOLDFISH 
HARDY FLOWERS

Your pool dressed up in a new gown of hardy plants along its edge or a stream of water with flowering plants along 
its bank will look much better than with weeds or grass growing there. 
You have, no doubt, asked yourself the question as to just what you could place around your pool or along the edge 
of a stream. You want those plants which will harmonize with the aquatic plants in your pool. This is not an expensive
