WATER HYACINTH (Eichhornia crassipes). Is a 
showy, interesting, floating plant. The orchid-like flow- 
ers are borne on a spike (like the true Hyacinth) of lav- 
ender color with a large blotch of deep blue and a yellow 
spot on the upper lobe. Flowers are produced freely if 
the roots are allowed to anchor in soil. 
10c. each, 12 for $1.00 
WATER LETTUCE or SHELL FLOWER (Pistia 
stratiotes). A pretty rosette-like plant with blue-green,

shallow water and soil. 10c. each, 12 for $1.00 
AZOLLA (Azolla caroliniana). Small green plants turn- 
ing to brown red under strong sun. 25c. per portion 
DUCKWEED (Lemna minor). Another very small plant 
with ovate, light green leaves. Very much appreciated 
by Goldfish for food. 25c. per portion

leaves grow in attractive chain formation with tiny hairs 
on top of them. 25c. per portion

Onygenaling Plants 
The value of oxygenating plants is underestimated by 
most people. These underwater plants are absolutely 
necessary if you expect to keep your water crystal clear 
and pure. They also provide a much needed shelter and 
protection for baby goldfish. In their growing process they 
absorb impurities from the water and in return for this they 
give off oxygen, which action clarifies the water and pre- 
vents the water from turning green. The first four varieties 
listed herewith will grow without planting, but all will do 
better if rooted in soil, in shallow water, or planted in 
separate receptacles (flower pot). Do not plant in same 
receptacle with Lilies.
