NOTICE the clean feathery, 
luxuriant roots on Lakeview 
Water Hyacinths! All the 
plants we sell are carefully 
chosen for size, shape, clean- 
liness of roots and health of 
plants. All varieties of Gold- 
fish will seek out their roots 
to deposit their eggs on at 
spawning time. (April to 
June.) There is no better 
substance to receive the gold- 
fish spawn and protect it until 
hatched (4 to 6 days) than 
the live clean roots of a 
growing Lakeview Water 
Hyacinth. To grow baby 
Goldfish in a pool your sur- 
est start is to introduce 6 to 
12 Lakeview Water Hya- 
cinths each Spring (depend- 
ing on the number of fish in 
your pool). 
Water Hyacinths may be 
placed in outdoor pools as 
early in Spring as danger 
from killing frost is past. If 
a late Spring frost is ex- 
pected, outside plants should 
be protected. 
When water is added to 
the pool sprinkle the plant 
leaves with your hose as 
they like moisture on the 
leaves occasionally.

“Queen of Aquatic Plants" are the best of all 
Water Plants for Goldfish to spawn on and the 
easiest to grow in outdoor pools.

@ The owner of this pool started six Lakeview Water Hyacinths 
in Spring. He had over 100 plants by late Summer and many 
blossoms were produced. 
LAKEVIEW WATER HYACINTHS 
(Eichornia Crassipes Major) are floating 
aquatic plants native to Tropical Coun- 
tries where they thrive in warm, shallow 
water and thousands of plants may be 
seen blooming at one time. This species 
has been called “The Queen of Aquatic 
Plants” because they produce their mag- 
nificent orchid colored flowers in trusses 
like aGiant Hyacinth. The strong healthy 
plants sold by Lakeview are easy to grow 
in outdoor pools (when water is 60 de- 
grees or more) either in full sunlight or 
in partially sunny exposures. Where 
the plants receive plenty of sunlight they 
will multiply as much as ten times during 
three warm months and they will reward 
you with many lovely blossoms, 
Since they are tropical plants they 
cannot survive Northern Winters ex- 
cept in heated greenhouse tanks. For 
best results in pools use choice Lake- 
view Water Hyacinths each Spring. 



@ Goldfish spawn on the roots of Lakeview 
Water Hyacinths. Natural size. 
WATER HYACINTHS should 
not be planted like other 
rooted aquatics in a pool be- 
cause they like to float in 
shallow water where only 
the root tips can enter the 
soil. To start them in a clean 
concrete pool confine them 
in a corner with a shallow 
box of soil submerged about 
6 to 8 inches below the water 
surface so that a few of the 
Hyacinth root tips can enter 
it as they grow. An inch of 
clean sand may be used on top 
of the soil in box to keep the 
pool clean if desired. 
In larger pools or ponds 
where some soil particles are 
in the water in solution, and 
where there is a sediment of 
soil on the bottom of pool, 
no other soil will be needed. 
Simply let the plants float in 
shallow water. 
NOTE: A beautiful illustrated booklet 
= “The Goldfish Pool’’ describing 
over 100 varieties of Aquatic Plants, 
Water Lilies and Goldfish for Pools will 
be sent free on request. It tells how to 
build outdoor pools and raise baby Gold- 
fish. Address Lakeview Farms, 5601 Cole-
