SS SPECIAL NOTICE — LABORATORY SPECIMENS 
GREEN FROGS—A natural accessory for every out- 
- door Peet. Like turtles, the frogs need some place to 
rest above water, so provide a flat board or protruding 
rock until the lilies grow. Insects are the natural food 
of frogs. (Available only May 1 to October 1.) 
Small size, 40c per pair. 
Large size, 60c per pair. 
TADPOLES—These are the green frogs in the tad- 
pole or undeveloped state. They will develop legs, lose 
the tail and become baby frogs during the summer. 
Meanwhile they are scavengers and eat decaying mate- 
rials. Tads must be shipped in a can with water, but we make no 
extra charge for it for this purpose. 
50 for $1.75. $3.50 per 100. 
50c per dozen. 
(Shipping can included.) 
JAPANESE SNAILS—These are the largest of the aquarium snails 
and are entirely hardy in a pool. They are better able to resist 
their natural enemies because when they retire into the shell for pro- 
tection they can close their trapdoor to all intruders. The youn 
snails are fully formed and have their own small shell when release 
by the parent. Active eaters of algae and green scum. 
4 for 25c. 60c per dozen. $5.00 per 100. 
BLACK RAMSHORN SNAILS—These are very similar to the valu- 
able Red Ramshorn Snails, but are much more hardy and are very 
prolific. Good for aquariums or pools. 
Size about 2”, 5 for 25¢. 50c¢ per dozen. 

$4.00 per 100.

RED RAMSHORN SNAILS—These are very active algae eaters and 
show up at their best in a well planted aquarium. The body and shell 
are coral red. They grow to be about 1 inch in diameter. Rare and 
desirable. 
Size about 2”, 3 for 25c. 85¢ per dozen. 
BABY GREEN TURTLES—These little fellows are about two inches in 
diameter and are beautifully marked with red, green and yellow. The 
underpart of their shells is curiously marked, every turtle seemingly 
with a different pattern. Many of the marks resemble maps, hence the 
name ‘‘Geographic”’ turtles. Children are always delighted with these 
harmless little pets. They may be kept in a pool while small, but in- 
doors should be kept in their own small bowl with a stone to crawl 
out of the water and rest on. 
20c each, 2 for 35c. $1.80 per dozen. 
FRESH WATER CLAMS-—Size 2 to 4 inches. These fresh water 
mussels are in demand for pools, as they help keep the water clear by 
constantly straining out food particles. Keep them in sand; not too 
warm, and in old ‘Green Water,”’ if you have it. 
4 for 25c. 75¢ per dozen. $3.00 for 50. 
AMERICAN SALAMANDERS—A harmless native water newt. Back 
covered with red and black dots. Belly, yellow spotted with brown. 
Like the above, they are insect eaters. 
15¢ each. 2 for 25c.
