TO WATER GARDENERS 
EVERYWHERE: 
We are very pleased to supply this catalog of Water 
Plants and helpful information on water gardening to 
anyone interested in this most gratifying adventure in 
home beautification. 
Our customers benefit by our huge production facili¬ 
ties, and by expert and faithful selection of every bulb 
and plant shipped by us. Experienced horticulturists 
sort all our production and eliminate everything lacking 
in normal development or virility. Though this atten¬ 
tion eliminates the kind of stock selling at very cheap 
prices, it assures to every customer of Hoosier Aquatic 
Gardens uniformly high value in every purchase. 
We supply Goldfish from Grassyfork Fisheries in every 
variety and size, and our experienced customers repeat¬ 
edly assure us that our usual commercial shipments are 
fully as good as the very best of selected fish. We 
also supply nearly all suitable varieties of ornamental 
Tropical fishes. 
It will always be a pleasure to assist our customers 
in any way to obtain the finest development and beauti¬ 
fication of their water gardens. We solicit equally 
your inquiries and your patronage, assuring you of the 
best of attention to both. Wishing you every success 
and pleasure with your water gardening in 1934, we are 
Garden Clubs and Organizations 
interested in Water Gardening 
can arrange through us for an in¬ 
teresting informative lecture 
illustrated by motion pictures in 
color. This lecture by advance 
arrangement only. Inquiries are 
welcome.
