View of Our Lily Ponds 
Hardy water lilies and many other aquatics 
are propagated on a 52-acre tract about 69 
miles west of St. Louis. The photograph shows 
the “Sunshine Water Lilies” in a natural set¬ 
ting. The Lotus bed can be seen in the back¬ 
ground near the shore line. The lake is used 
also for propagating game fish and we are able 
to supply young crappie, bass and various sun- 
fishes in the fall of the year for re-stocking of 
private ponds.

Our facilities enable us to serve 
you efficiently. Our large volume 
of business and our many years 
of experience permit us to give 
you the highest quality merchan¬ 
dise at lower prices. Most all 
shipments are made the same day 
the order is received, except 
where orders call for seasonable 
supplies, such as water lilies, etc., 
lor which we place orders on file 
for spring shipment as early as 
January and February. Order 
early! Do not wait until the late 
spring to order your lilies as we 
may be sold out of some of the 
varieties.

City or Denver, Colo., fast express 
trains will reach the destination

MERCHANDISE 
Only Beldt offers a complete 
variety of aquatic supplies. We 
offer a complete line of fish aqua¬ 
riums, remedies, fishfoods and 
heaters. Many features in our 
catalog are exclusive, such as the 
especially constructed heavy duty 
wrought iron and angle iron roll¬ 
er stands with heavy casters for 
large aquariums, so that these 
aquariums may be moved away 
from the window should the ne¬ 
cessity arise. 
For the pool we also have a 
very complete line of fancy gold¬ 
fish, including the rare Lionheads, 
Orandas and Golden Orf. 
You will find our aquarium 
plants of the highest quality, all 
greenhouse grown. We guarantee 
to send you healthy and vigorous 
water lilies, all true to name, at 
the proper planting time for your 
locality. No matter what you 
want, if you do not find it listed 
in our catalog, write us. 
Customer’s testimonials are un¬ 
solicited and may be viewed at 
any time.
