House Cleaners 
Snails and clams are your 
pool housecleaners. Every pool 
should have several of them. 
They consume refuge and keep 
the pool sanitary. See group

^Slauatic Plants 
Plants for Bog and Shallow Water Use 
In order to simulate the wild beauty of Nature, bog 
plants, shallow water plants, and other aquatic plants 
must be used. 
Some must be planted above the water line, others 
below. Depth of water required for each is indicated 
in the description. 
Plants described below are shown in color at the left. 
Numbers refer to numbers in picture. 
(1) CATTAIL. What would a bog be without Cat¬ 
tails? Plant in water not over 6 inches deep. 
(2) JAPANESE UMBRELLA PALM. This is an ex¬ 
ceedingly graceful and beautiful plant for the moist 
soil along the banks of your pool. Do best in not 
over 2 inches of water. Can be potted and pot 
partly submerged. 
(3) GIANT ARROWHEAD (Sagittaria). Beautiful 
foliage and beautiful white flowers with pretty 
maroon base. Whole plant stands one to three feet 
above water. 
(4) WATER HYACINTH. This plant floats right on 
the surface of the pool, or if you wish you may 
anchor the roots in submerged soil and it will pro¬ 
duce the beautiful orchid-lavender flowers shown 
in the picture.
