HE use of our Order Blank will be of assistance to you, 
and to us. Please fill out all the information requested, 
so as to avoid delays and mis-shipment. If you write 
regarding your pool or aquarium, always use a separate 
sheet of paper. 
HOW WE SHIP—We prefer to ship all perishable or 
fragile articles by Express Collect, but plants and small 
supplies can be sent by Parcel Post when specifically re- 
quested, and when additional funds are sent to cover the 
postage charges. Add 10% of the amount of the order 
wanted by Parcel Post, except points west of Rocky Mts. 
add 20%. Include 25c for Handling and Packing charge 
on all orders under 2.50. 
ORDER EARLY—To be sure that you will get everything 
that you want, we request that you order early in Spring, 
as it is impossible to carry our complete line of fish and 
and plants through the entire Spring Season. The articles or- 
dered will be reserved for you and shipments made at the 
proper time for your locality. TROPICAL LILIES will 
not be shipped to any of the Northern States until end of 
May, as weather conditions do not permit safe planting 
until then. 
GUARANTEE ON FISH, ETC.—We are not liable for 
damage or loss that may occur due to delay or mishandling 
on the way but we will nevertheless guarantee live delivery 
of Goldfish and Scavengers (negligible losses excepted) to 
all points, as per terms on Page 9 
GUARANTEE OF PLANTS—We guarantee to ship you 
best quality plants true to name and to have them arrive 
in good condition. Furthermore, if you will give our water 
lilies proper planting attention on receipt, we WILL 
GUARANTEE ALL HARDY AND TROPICAL WATER 
LILIES AND POTTED LOTUS TO GROW when 
shipped at proper planting time. 
We know that you will not expect this guarantee to in- 
clude any replacement of a plant that died because of 
neglect, inexperience, or due to drying out, freezing, or 
other weather condition, or due to injuries by animals, etc. 
But if the plants above mentioned fail to grow, due to lack 
of “growing power” we will make one replacement at no 
cost to you except transportation costs. Any such failure 
must be reported within six weeks from time of purchase. 
CLAIMS FOR DAMAGE—In case any shipment is re- 
ceived from us in bad condition from the Express Company, 
fill out the Company’s “Received in Bad Order” slip and 
send it to us at once, together with information as to how 
water was changed (in the case of Goldfish shipments) , and 
all other details. We will replace such losses by an addi- 
tional shipment on which charges only are to be paid by 
you. (See Guarantee on Fish, Page 9.) 
We are not responsible for breakage of glassware. Pre- 
sent the claim to Transportation Co. for settlement. 
SHIPPING CANS—Small orders for Goldfish and Trop- 
ical Fish must. carry an additional remittance of 50c for 
shipping can which may then be kept. Larger orders of

HANDLING GOLDFISH — Whenever larger Goldfish 
are handled be careful not to rub off too much of the 
Protective Coating of ‘‘slime’’ on them because it acts 
as their outside layer of skin. 
Always handle them in the shade. If you have occa- 
sion to drain your pool do so when it is cool, preferably 
early in the morning or towards evening and not in di- 
rect sun. Never keep fish in a can or bucket in the sun. 
Put them in shade and keep cool. 
BREEDING STOCK—AIl varieties of adult Goldfish will 
interbreed, i. e., Common Goldfish will breed with Fan- 
tails, Calicoes, ‘Telescopes, etc. To have pure bred stock 
each variety is bred separately in our large hatchery and 
all breeding stock is very carefully selected each year. 
SPAWNING—Spawning season for Goldfish (in South- 
ern Ohio) is during April, May and June. In Southern 


the water, and_ those which do not contact the life- 
giving germs will be infertile, and soon will be attacked 
by fungus growths and disappear. 
HATCHING GOLDFISH EGGS IN A POOL—After the 
eggs are laid on the roots of the Water Hyacinths the 
plants can be removed to a screened off part of the pool, 
where the Goldfish and other water creatures cannot get 
at them. Goldfish spawn, and newly hatched Goldfish 
are an easy prey, and a delicate morsel much loved by 
many creatures of the water, besides the larger fish (one 
inch and up). A floating box with wire screen bottom 
can be used as a “‘hatching box”? for a few plants with 
spawn on. One Water Hyacinth may have from 200 to 
1,000 Goldfish eggs on it. , 
FEEDING AND RAISING THE BABIES—In about five 
days the little fish will be seen swimming around search-

season spawning will produce best results. ?
