ONE CEESTED AND ONE PLAIN. 



understand what is meant by the term Sulphur- 

 ette, I will explain. The ground colour, which 

 should be as clear as possible, is diffused by the 

 pale sulphur or yellow tint. 



The colour of the feathers on rump and down 

 to tail spots is a soft fawny drab tint. As a 

 rule, the lacing in this colour is sharp and well 

 defined, and the tail spots are well formed. But 

 as a rule Sulphurettes are not quite so strong in 

 head properties as the blue -laced. But be that 

 as it may, they make a very pleasing and striking 

 appearance in the show pen. 



I have recommended when possible to mate 

 the colours together. But if necessary, or where a 

 change of blood is advisable, to mate a clear 

 ground coloured blue-laced Satinette with a 

 Sulphurette, or a lightly laced Brunette. 



I have produced excellent results by infusing 

 a dash of the black -laced Satinette into the 

 Sulphurs. This I discovered by accident when 

 commencing on my task of producing black and 

 dun -laced Satinettes. But I may add that there 

 was an equal mixture of blue-laced Satinette in- 

 fused as well, which I will explain when coming 

 to the black- laced. I never bred better or more 

 beautifully tinted Sulphurettes than I did when 

 I was perfecting the black -laced. 



ONE CRESTED AND ONE PLAIN. 



And just at that time, now over 20 years ago, 

 I received an enquiry from a fancier in Holland
