FLOATING AND 
OXYGENATING PLANTS 
Wherever fish are kept, in Pool or Aquarium, 
the Floating and Oxygenating plants take on 
especial importance. Oxygenating plants 
produce free oxygen in the water in the proc¬ 
esses 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. 
FLOATING PLANTS 
Floating Plants may be placed anywhere in 
the pool and are unexcelled for planting cor¬ 
ners, or at the base of taller growing plants.
