Scavengers 
Goldfish are very beautiful, so are Water Lilies and all 
aquatic plants. Snails, tadpoles and fresh water mussels aid 
in purifying the water and sand. Just as the Goldfish eat 
insect life and mosquitoes, so do Snails consume algae and 
green scum; Tadpoles eat decayed matter as well as the 
excrement of the fish. They are of inestimable value both in 
pools and aquariums. 
The transformation of a tadpole to a frog is not only an 
interesting but an instructive natural phenomenon. All will

Every year brings more and more re- 
| quests for Frogs. What a treat for 
those who have a few frogs in their 
pools! How natural to associate frogs 
with the lily pads and the pool! Think of the chorus com- 
ing from your pool expressing vibrant joy at the return of 
spring. They have no doubt spent the winter in the mud 
bottom of your pool or around the edge of the pool and are 
now calling to you with their melody of voices. All of 
them seem to be singing at once and you approach to see 
why they are so happy. All is quiet, but if your pool is 
filled what a thrill awaits you as you hear your pets hit the 
water and see the splash. As you stand looking after the

enjoy seeing the legs develop and the tail absorbed and 
finally the real frog. 
You will surely want with your fish and lilies these scav- 
engers to help keep the water pure and clean.

eat fish eggs and are harmless to the fish. Per dozen 50c. 
These can only be shipped in water and by express, 
charges collect. Shipping can 50c. each.

of scum. We offer these at 25c pair; per dozen $1.00.

WATER LILY FERTILIZER | 
Growing the largest quantities of lilies produced in the world, we feel that we are 
especially prepared by knowledge and experience to produce a fertilizer which is | 
especially adapted to the needs of water lilies. Our fertilizer is indeed most excellent | 
for water lilies, and all aquatic plants. It is put up in one pound cans with full 
merry fellows you are soon rewarded by seeing your pets 
staring back at you, with a pair of large protruding eyes, 
just extending above the water, If you remain perfectly 
quiet, soon your pets will have forgotten their scare and 
they will come marching out to the side of the pond or pool, 
or up on the lily pads, there to again express their great 
appreciation of the return of spring by their musical chorus. 
Do not be alarmed or surprised if all of your frogs do not 
join in the chorus, for it is only the male frog that has a 
musical talent. The female frog, just as the female canary, 
never sings. Then, too, the males have yellow throats, 
whereas the female’s throat is white and smooth. 
The frog feeds upon only moving objects. The frog can 
only see moving objects, and it is therefore useless to 
attempt to feed frogs by placing fish food in the water. 
Tadpoles, however, eat freely and grow rapidly on our 
regular prepared fish food. Insects, such as flies, gnats, bugs, 
etc., which the frog can catch on the jump, are the frog’s 
relish. 
Giant Bullfrogs—Large adult breeders paired—$2.00 per 
pair, $10.00 per dozen. Large Giant Bullfrog Tad- 
poles—Legs forming, ready to turn to small bullfrogs, 
50c per dozen. 
Green Frogs—Adult Breeders, any size, 50c per pair, or 
$2.50 per dozen. 
We ought to know how to make a good food, raising 
millions of fish and feeding tons of feed daily. Try ours.
