OXYGENATING PLANTS 
For Pools and Aquariumns 
If you have goldfish in your pool (and all pools should have) 
oxygenating plants are absolutely essential. Oxygenating 
plants (1) absorb the carbon dioxide which the fish gives off and 
liberate oxygen which the fish must have to live. (2) Fish 
need oxygenating plants to spawn and lay their eggs in. (3) 
Baby fish need them to hide in, otherwise they will be eaten 
by their own parents. Plant Anacharis in small containers and 
place on pool bottom. Just throw Marestail on to pool surface. 
MARESTAIL (CETEROPHYLLUM): The most beautiful 
of all the oxygenating plants, without exception. A bright light 
green. Long trailing stems covered with thousands of soft green 
needles. An excellent oxygenator which adds greatly to the 
beauty of the pool or aquarium. Extra large bunch, $.50. 
ANACHARIS: A native plant that is very satisfactory as an 
oxygenator. A lovely deep green. Very hardy. Extra large 
bunch, $.50; 3 for $1.00.

CHANGEABLE COLORS 
Here are three of the finest and most delicately colored lilies in 
our gardens. Every pool should have at least one of them. They 
open up a light color and grow darker through each successive 
day. Quite often one may see THREE DISTINCTLY DIF-

This picture was included just to show how large a root will 
grow when grown with rotted dairy fertilizer. A 3 year old 
Comanche root. In just plain soil, this Comanche would have 
been only about half this size! Nothing will take the place of 
rotted dairy fertilizer for growing hardy lilies! Only about 
10 inches of root is left with crown for shipping. The rest is cut 
off as it is not needed. Incidentally, the gentleman is Spencer 
Albro, the photographer who took many of the pictures in 
this catalog, including the colored ones.
