Beautiful Hardy Goldfish for Aquariums and Outdoor Pools are Cheaper Than Ever Before 
COMETS 
The Comet is an American variety which was developed 
from the Common Goldfish, but it is characterized by a thin 
graceful body and long single tail. It is very quick in its 
movements and a splendid fish for pools. Colors are red and 
white, orange and black, all red, all gold, or all white. Mixed 
colors are given as they come.

GIANT GOLDFISH 
(And Young Giants)

with these special olterings of Giant Goldfish. All large fish 
must be ordered early, as they are hard to ship during warm

CHINESE MOORS 
These are the grotesque, but very popular “Goggle Eyes” 
or “Pop Eyed” Goldfish, commercially known as “Telescopes.” 
Chinese Moors are the only members of the Goldfish family 
to develop the true “Black Velvet” color, and this color has 
never been transmitted to any other fish without the Telescope 
eye. Body and fins are nearly all of the Fantail type, though 
a few come as the Nymph type. All fish of choice quality. 
(Extra large specimens, $2.00 to $5.00 each.)

Chinese Moors of similar size. 
CALICO TELESCOPES 
These are similar in structure to the Chinese Moors and 
Red Telescopes, but come in the “Calico” colors of the Shu- 
bunkin. (Extra large fish, $2.00 to $5.00 each.)

G OLDFISH and Aquatic Plants go together in 
Nature; and, in fact, the Goldfish are an 
essential part of a Water Garden. Not only 
are these fish a source of interest and pleasure, but 
they are helpful in maintaining healthy condi¬ 
tions, because they cal up certain destructive hugs, 
worms, etc., and they are a public benefaction in 
all pools and ponds, for no mosquito larvae will 
ever survive in a well-stocked Goldfish Pool! 
All our Goldfish arc grown out of doors in 
natural clay bottom ponds. They have spent 
their entire lives out doors and easily survive the 
ice and cold of Winter. You can select any of the 
grades we list with complete assurance that they 
are strong and healthy fish in the best condition 
for shipment. (For care of fish, see Pages 24 and 25.) 
If you want to raise young fish in your pool, 
buy your fish in April or early in May, so as to get 
the most benefit from the Spring spawning season, 
which lasts from the middle of March to the end 
of June. 
The grades marked (*) arc large enough to 
spawn the first Spring spent in a pool. Others 
will be large enough to spawn the following 
Spring. For spawning, be sure to use some Water 
Hyacinths, the beautiful floating plants seemingly 
made by Nature for this purpose. (See Page 17.) 
A 'OTE—Sizes are stated in inches and are the overall length of 
fish from “the tip of the nose to the end of the tail.” Where prices 
are quoted per hundred fish. ten or more will be sold at hundred 
rate, except where dozen rate is stated. LIVE DELIVERY GUARAN¬ 
TEED AS PER TERMS ON PAGE 26. 
SHUBUNKINS 
These are the attractive mottled or “Calico” fish with 
single tail. Colors are red, white, blue, lavender, orange, 
purple, black, at times all on the same fish. Every fish 
differently marked. Very attractive, sturdy and much sought 
after for pools and aquariums.

popular, hardy Common Goldfish. They are the cheapest, 
toughest, and most prolific of all Goldfish varieties, and are 
unsurpassed for use in larger pools and ponds. Adults grow 
to be 12 to 14 inches long when kept in large ponds. They 
come in assorted colors, including black and gold, red anti 
white, all white. Mixed colors given as they come.

UNCOLORED GOLDFISH 
(Silver Fish , Lire Bait) 
Uncolored Goldfish are extensively used as live bait for 
fishing, and some mighty fine catches are made with them. 
They are easy to transport, as they are much tougher than 
creek minnows. 
Another use for these fish is for Mosquito Control. For 
this purpose they are the cheapest natural remedy we know 
of. We have a limited quantity available in Spring, during 
March and April and during the Fall and Winter from 
November 1st to March. (Other months by special arrange¬ 
ment only.)

the above prices, should be sent with orders from customers 
unknown to us. This is to insure the return of shipping cans 
which are in some cases worth more than the value of fish 
sent. This deposit will be refunded (or credited, if you pre¬ 
fer), as soon as the cans are returned to us. (Applies to Un¬ 
colored Goldfish only.)
