The plumage is uniform in pattern in nearly all sections, 

 that is, nearly all the sections are alike in color and markings. 

 Only the neck and larger feathers of wing and tail are excep- 

 tions to this, and even these features show a tendency to follow 

 the color patterns of the feathers of the other sections. This 

 tendency is very pleasing to all breeders of penciled varieties,

PAETEIDGE PLYMOUTH BOCKS, DIFFEEENT PATTEENS 

 OF PENCILING ON WING SECONDAEIES OF FEMALES 



1. On lower (left hand) edge, nearly parallel, then turning irreg- 

 ularly outward to edge, on upper side breaks up into irregular cross 

 penciling, which should be nearly solid black except near end of the 

 smaller upper secondaries. 



2. Is barred instead of penciled parallel to edge. 



3. Penciling runs parallel to edge nearly all through lower (left 

 hand) web. Approaches ideal marking.
