GOLDFISH 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 reproduce. 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 are especially 
effective in destroying mosquito larvae. 
With the tremendous resources of the world’s largest commercial Goldfish Hatch¬ 
eries at our command, we are able to offer you the utmost economy in Collections 
of Goldfish for the Pool, and to supply any special orders. We invite special inquiries. 
Be careful not to overfeed Goldfish. We supply a variety of special fish foods 
suitable for all feeding requirements. (See page 19-) 
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 tw'o in the ice occasionally to 
increase air in the water. If you keep an indoor Aquarium, take the best specimens 
from the Pool for your enjoyment throughout the winter. 
If the Pool must be drained for the winter, fish not to be kept in an Aquarium 
can be stored in tubs or other containers in the basement. Here the water must 
be changed occasionally, or a trickle of running water provided, unless you can 
transfer some sagittaria, myriophyllum or other oxygenating plants with the fish 
and establish balanced Aquarium conditions in the storage tubs. The use of our 
Steel and Galva-Tank is recommended for winter care of fish taken from the Pool. 
(See page 13.) 
If you are interested in raising Goldfish in the Pool, get them in before the spawn¬ 
ing season in early May. Provide root clumps of floating plants (Water Hyacinths, 
etc., page 14) or bunches of submerged grasses tied together and allowed to float 
(see Milfoil, page 14) in which the eggs will be deposited. It is difficult to deter¬ 
mine the sex of Goldfish, and a dozen or more should be placed in the Pool if 
breeding is desired.
