[image] Our Talking Pet

BIRDS "Little Dewdrops of Celestial Melody." The companionship of a bird has brightened the life of many a tired, over-worked mother on whom the daily cares and burdens rested heavily. The music of a good singer makes the whole house more cheerful and every member of the family enjoys the pure, clear notes of a happy little song bird. We specially invite the patronage of those who are well posted and can appreciate a bird of superior quality. Our bird department is as complete as any bird store in the country and our prices are lower than most others. The reason for this is that we handle many thousand birds annually and have the largest mail order business in America. Ask for complete illustrated catalogue. We ship to the most distant parts of the United States and guarantee live arrival to any express office which is a railroad station.

HARTZ MOUNTAIN CANARIES.--These are a specialty with us. They are bred in Germany, high up among the Hartz Mountains, and are famous for their clear, pure, beautiful song, which is a restful melody.

PARROTS GUARANTEED TALKERS Each year we import young parrots in immense numbers from our supply stations in Old Mexico, where our men personally supervise raising, selecting, and shipping these birds. Only parrots of superior quality are sent to us, all culls being rejected. Thus we can offer extra choice stock, hand raised, and give with each parrot a written guarantee that it will learn to talk. Beware of cheap trapped parrots; they look nice but will not learn to talk; we never handle them. ROYAL AZTEC DOUBLE YELLOW HEADS.--Our very finest talking variety, formerly called Page Parrots. Superior to all other American parrots and make most fluent talkers. Guaranteed. Price $15.00 during summer, but usually higher after August 15th. COMMON DOUBLE YELLOW HEADS.--Very good birds fully guaranteed but not likely to make such brilliant talkers as the Aztecs. Price $9.75 during the summer.

[image] GLASS FISH GLOBE

GOLDFISH A well regulated aquarium adds an elegance to any place and is one of the most desirable ornaments for the parlor, library, sitting or dining room. It offers a wide opportunity for the study of nature, the motion of animal life eliciting the admiration of all, while affording instructive amusement for the children. The fishes require very little attention, and live a great many years. We breed immense numbers of gold fish, paradise fish, etc., and ship them to all parts of the United States from Maine to California and from Canada to the Gulf. They can be shipped at all seasons of the year; cold weather does not affect them unless bucket containing them freezes solid. The express charges are always paid by the purchaser. We have thousands of aquaria customers in the country as well as in the city, and therefore devote space in this catalogue to gold fish, knowing that they are the handsomest parlor ornaments which can be obtained. Ask for our Aquaria catalogue. It contains valuable information on Fish, Globes, Aquariums, etc.

[image] AQUARIA CASTLE

GOLD FISH.--While there are many varieties of gold fish as named and described in this list, we refer only to the plain variety by this name. These are more popular than the fancy sorts, being low priced and generally satisfactory. They are a species of carp, originally inhabiting ponds and sluggish streams in China, and they are better adapted to life in fish globes than any other breed of fish. They are universal favorites, of golden red color. Those bred in this state seem to have a peculiar brilliancy of coloring which is especially noticeable when in the fish globes. Prices, 10c, 15c, 25, 35c, 50c and $1.00 each, according to size. Extra choice three-color specimens, when obtainable, $1.00 each. The 25c size (5 for $1.00) is the most popular. The largest size is only suitable for ponds or fountains.

COMET FISH.--Also called "Gorgeous Tails," "Long-Tailed Beauties," and "Fancy Gold Fish." They are without doubt the most graceful in their movements of all aquaria fish. Medium size 25c each; large 50c each. Extra choice colors and markings 75c to $1.25. JAPANESE FANTAIL FISH.--By far the most popular of all fancy fish and the most satisfactory of the imported varieties. The fins and tails are long and of delicate lace-like appearance. The tail is V-shape and frequently divided so that it might be called two distinct tails. They are beautifully variegated usually with golden red and pearly white or black. Nice specimens 50c each. Choice 75c each. Fancy, some showing three colors, $1.00 each.

SILVER FISH.--This is simply an uncolored gold fish of dark silvery color. Nice for a variety. Medium size 10c each; 6 for 50c. PEARL FISH.--These elegant fish are either of a clear pearly white color or white is variegated with gold markings. Medium size 25c; 5 for $1.00. AMERICAN FANTAIL FISH.--Are bred from the imported Japanese fish and are very handsome. Price, according to size, shape and color, 25c, 35c, 50c, and 75c each.
