room where it is grown if they can con¬ 
veniently escape. What there is about it that repulses them is not clear, as 
the plants and flowers have no odor. It is a beautiful flowering plant, and 
blooms in a short time (60 days) from seed. It is a profuse bloomer in pots

A beautiful water plant for the house, forming a

ceal the small amount of soil used. It is a most useful plant for aquariums and outdoor pools, 
as fish will not thrive unless enough plants are growing to furnish them with oxygen. To do 
this there should be not less than one plant to every two gallons of water. Plants, 35c each,
