Name for This Wonder 
Plant 
Really this wonder plant does not deserve the name. Echinodorus Radicans, because this plant is one 
that grows so easily, blooms so freely, hardy, adapts itself to any depth, can be used as a bog, shallow 
water, or submerged plant, will grow in full sunlight or part shade. 
Jt was introduced as Sagittaria Guayanensis, hut rcchristcncd when plant origin was finally established. 
Leaves oval in shape, 12 to 24 inches long—spread from a crown, and sends up runners on which appear delicate white flow- 
ers, swinging above the water, and gracefully bending to its surface where other tiny plants appear from this runner. 
Thus continuously flowering, its dark green foliage, fullness of growth—it presents a lovely picture. The Ideal Plant For the 
Pool.

Another New Wonder Plant 
'WATER SPRITE” 
One of the most beautiful of submerged plants for the garden pool 
yet introduced. A true Water Fern. In appearance the plant resembles 
terrestrial fern with its long gracefully slender fronds. 
This beautiful plant under water gives an even more enchanting ap' 
pearance as it spreads fanlike in the water, swaying with the rippling 
movement of the water. Here and there peeping from the water, the 
fronds show their green heads. Sometimes a long graceful leaf extends 
above the water. 
Just the kind of a plant you desire for that “display” in the pool 
where the goldfish meet for their daily greeting to you. 
50c per plant; 3 for $1.00, prepaid.
