Selective breeding for many years has resulted in this new strain of Mrs. Emma H. Davis 
RED GOLDFISH with highly developed tails. Our fish are really RED Seattle, Washington 
and not yellow like those that one sees in the 5 and 10 cent stores. 
Our RED GOLDFISH are very hardy and can be left in the pool all 
winter. Unless crowded, they require no feeding during summer or winter as they get their food from plant and 
animal life naturally in the outdoor pool.- However, we highly recommend feeding them DUCK WEED, a small float- 
ing plant which they just love. Duck Weed serves as botha food anda tonic. Goldfish are liveliest of all when they 
have access to it! LARGE PORTION of DUCK WEED, 50 cents. Merely, throw it on the water.

OUR GUARANTEE: WE GUARANTEE LIVE DELIVERY OF ALL GOLDFISH. We will replace any that die in shipping providing

extra fish with every order. 
CAUTION: Do not put fish in new cement pool until pool has been filled and drained two times. Alkali from cement might kill fish. 
SPAWNING: Grow baby goldfish in your pool! Watching the baby fish grow is highly fascinating. Order fish early if you wish 
them to spawn in your pool. Be sure to include either (1) The oxygenating plant Marestail or (2) The floating plant Water Hyacinth for the fish 
to lay their eggson. We especially recommend Marestail for fish spawn especially well in it and its bright, green, lacy foliage adds tremendously 
to the pool. Order both, preferably. 3 
BREEDERS: Only fish 4 to 6 inches or larger can be classified as breeders. We have giant goldfish up to 10 inches in length for customers 
who can come to our gardens.
