WATER 
TEST 

To Help Determine What Plants Will Thrive 
In Your Lake, Pond, Marsh or Stream. 
Chemical condition of water is one of the 
most important factors that determines what 
plants will grow in it. Some important water 
plants require hard {Atkaline) water which con— 
tains lime just as alfalfa and certain farm 
crops need lime in the soil. For example wild 
Rice prefers hard water and Muskgrass (Chara), 
Sago Pond Plant (Potamogeton pectinatus) and 
wild Celery require hard water in order tp 
thrive. Some water plants such as water. Shield 
(Brazenia) and Bladderwort (Utricularia) prefer 
soft facid} water which does not contain much 
time. -A few plants like water Lilies, wapato 
Pai aes fe grow well in.either soft 
acid) or hard (alkalfne) water. : 
it is certainly important to know what 
kind of water you have in order to setect the 
proper water plants for your conditions. Hard 
water is most productive of fish food and fish 
as well as of waterfowl foods. | 
A simple chemical kit has been worked out 
to aid you in quickly determining what plants 
are best adapted to your waters. [{t will also 
guide you in determining what kind of fish wil} 
do best in your waters. As you will naturally 
plant the most suitable kinds of plants, or 
stock with the best kinds of a\ 
fish, this kit should save it 
you money by preventing pur-— 
chases of unsuitable materiats 
and will increase your measure 
of success with your plants, 
if you make use of it.
