OME of the finest aquatics will grow 
and bloom merely floating on the water surface, deriving nourish- 
ment from the air and water. In nature they drift to shallow water 
where the roots soon anchor and growth is very rapid. In other 
words, Floating Aquatics are always at home in any pool.

Small crinkly green foliage. Per portion, 25c. 
DUCKWEED (Lemma minor). A floating plant of small 
green foliage. Enjoyed by goldfish. Per portion, 25c.

WATER SNOWFLAKE (Nymphoides indicum). Not truly a 
floating plant because the roots must be anchored in

to establish themselves in shallow water. A dainty white 
flower, fringed like a large snowflake, appears at the base of 
the leaves. Nice, well-rooted plants from pots. 35c¢ each; 
$1.00 for 3. 
WATER HYACINTH (Eichornia crasspies major). A well- 
known floating plant from our Southern States. Lovely 
spikes of lavender flowers are produced when they are well 
established with roots into the soil for nourishment. They 
are destroyed by the first frost. The roots are used to catch 
the eggs of goldfish as they are deposited. 15c each; $1.50 
per doz. 
WATER CHESTNUT (Trapa natans). A hardy annual. 
Produces mottled leaves with clusters of small white 
flowers. Not ready until after June. 3 for $1.00.
