Breeding Time is Here 



Start the proper way this Spring and 

 get the right stock to do it with. 

 The fishes I offer I have bred. in my 

 own aquarium. None inbred, none 

 "doctored up," consequently only the 

 best and healthiest stock is offered. 

 q Thousands of fishes from which to 

 make your selection. I have any spe- 

 cies of tropical fish now on the market. 



Plants and Snails at reasonable prices. 



Manufacturer of "Faultless Fish Food" 



20 cts. per box; $2.00 per pound.

Winter is here, with its cold and discontent. 

 Don't merely mark time and wish for spring. 

 Make plans now for your outdoor ponds and 

 tanks. 



THE BOOK OF WATER GARDENING 



will help you create a picture that will never- 

 more be called (by your neighbors) "a dura old 

 stagnant pool." 



The book contains 140 illustrations, more than 

 enough to give you a comprehensive idea of the 

 decorative possibilities of water plants. The 

 price is $2.65.
