Floating and Oxygenating Plants 
'^A'herever fish are kept, in Pool or Aquarium, the Floating 
and Oxygenating plants take on especial importance. Oxygenating plants pro¬ 
duce free oxygen in the water in the processes of growth and are very valuable 
in supporting vigorous and active fish life for this reason. Floating Plants 
provide natural places for the fish spawn, their dense masses of roots being ideal 
for holding the spawn close to the surface of the water where the eggs will be 
sure of sufficient warmth from sunshine to hatch. Oxygenating and Floating 
Plants in the Water Garden will provide a source of fresh plantings for the 
Aquariiim, where they are necessary if balanced aquarium life is to be established.

the pool and are unexcelled for planting cor¬ 
ners, or at the base of taller growing plants.
