The SHUBUNKIN is one of the most attractive Goldfish for the Water Garden because of its extreme variation of color¬ 
ing in red, black and blue patches against a pearl background. Shubunkins often are scaleless, and no two fish are at all 
alike. The Calico Fantails listed in our Goldfish Collections are somewhat similar in appearance, but have the body 
formation of the Fantails. 
Goldf ish for Water Gardens 
Water gardening can hardly reach its best development 
without Goldfish in the Pool, so much do they contribute to its beauty and 
interest, and to easy success of its maintenance as well. Almost any outdoor 
Pool gives suitable conditions for the fish to increase in size and also to repro¬ 
duce. Goldfish fed occasionally at the edge of the Pool will soon be inclined to 
school and approach the visitor at the Pool border, bringing life and color to 
the whole scene that could be had in no other way. Goldfish in the Pool will 
destroy insects and their larvae, and 
mosquito larvae. 
With the tremendous resources of 
the world’s largest commercial Gold¬ 
fish Hatcheries at our command, we 
are able to offer you the utmost 
economy in Collections of Goldfish 
for the Pool, and to supply any spe¬ 
cial orders. We invite special in¬ 
quiries. 
Be careful not to overfeed Gold¬ 
fish. We supply a variety of special 
fish foods suitable for all feeding re¬ 
quirements. (See page 29.) 
Goldfish may well be left in the 
Pool over winter if the water is deep 
enough not to freeze solidly to the 
bottom. Break a hole or two in the 
ice occasionally to increase air in the 
water. If you keep an indoor Aqua¬ 
rium, take the best specimens from 
the Pool for your enjoyment through¬ 
out the winter. 
If the Pool must be drained for the 
winter, fish not to be kept in an Aqua¬ 
rium can be stored in tubs or other 
are especially effective in destroying 
containers in the basement. Here the 
water must be changed occasionally, 
or a trickle of running water pro¬ 
vided, unless you can transfer some 
sagitaria, myriophyllum or other 
oxygenating plants with the fish and 
establish balanced Aquarium condi¬ 
tions in the storage tubs. The use of 
our Galva-Tank is recommended for 
winter care of fish taken from the 
Pool. (See page 15.) 
If you are interested in raising 
Goldfish in the Pool, get them in be¬ 
fore the spawning season in early 
May. Provide root clumps of float¬ 
ing plants (Water Hyacinths, etc., 
page 15) or bunches of submerged 
grasses tied together and allowed to 
float (see Milfoil, page 15) in which 
the eggs will be deposited. It is dif¬ 
ficult to determine the sex of Gold¬ 
fish, and a dozen or more should be 
placed in the Pool if breeding is 
desired.
