Every pool needs oxygenating plants to 
keep the water crystal clear and pure. These 
——plants grow under water just like plants 
ju..see growing naturally in ponds and 
They absorb impurities from the 
and liberate oxygen, which action 
{ ifies the water and helps to prevent the 
% growth of Algae that turn the water green. 
: Oxygenating plants are indispensable when 
fish are present, as they set up a balanced 
or natural condition of the water. They also 
will assist materially in raising a batch of 
SAGITTARIA baby fishes, as the young fish find much 
: needed shelter and protection among their 
foliage. 
HOW TO PLANT OXYGENATING 
PLANTS IN POOLS 
Use small boxes or 5-inch pots and plant 
the oxygenating plants in soil. Leave the 
soil level an inch below the top of the box 
or pot and fill up the remaining space with 
sand. This prevents muddying up the water 
when the plants are placed in the pool. 
ce the box or pot directly on the bottom 
the pool in between the lilies. A 5-inch 
is large enough to accommodate about 
three plants. Oxygenating plants should 
be planted in containers by themselves and 
should never be planted in the same con- 
tainer with lilies.
