GOLDFISHES 
for Pools and Aquariums 
—7 HE water lily pool is always picturesque, but when you add gay- 
] colored fishes—then your pool becomes the most alluring spot in 
the garden. While many prefer the common and giant gold¬ 
fishes for pools, the fancy types are much preferred by some, espe¬ 
cially for the small pool. 
Most of the following types are sold in pairs. We exercise our 
best judgment in selecting pairs, but as it is sometimes difficult to 
determine the sex of goldfish, we are unable to guarantee this fac¬ 
tor. They are shipped to you in cans. A charge of 50c for shipping 
can is made on small orders. Large special galvanized cans are re¬ 
turnable by prepaid express at a cost of 20c.

A NOVELTY FOR YOUR POOL 
GOLDEN ORF. The Orf is a native of Europe and is ex¬ 
tremely hardy. Its habits are quite similar 
to our native trout and it will leap out of the water to catch 
insects. It will, however, live in perfect contentment in a 
still water pool. One feature which is particularly attractive ( 
is its surface-swimming habit, which keeps the fish con- I 
stantly in view. This attractive fish is more elongated and I 
cylindrical than the ordinary goldfish. With its pleasing | 
orange color it presents a beautiful sight to the pool lover. I
