SCAVENGERS FOR THE POOL AND

upon the insects, snails to devour algae and green scum and 
tadpoles to eat decayed matter. In all well-balanced pools 
scavengers should be kept.

come as large as an English Walnut. They devour algae 
and green scum and help to keep the water clear. These 
snails do not lay eggs as do other varieties but are live 
bearers, bringing forth the young fully developed. 2 for 25c. 
$1.25 per dozen. 
BROWN RAMSHORN SNAILS -Medium size snails with she 1 
characteristics of that name. Very prolific egg layers and

RED RAMSHORN SNAILS -Somewhat larger than the Brown 
Ramshom, sometimes known as the Coral Snail. Excellent 
scavengers. Lend much color to the aquarium and pool.
