This scale of points applied to all varieties in the American 

 class. Plymouth Rock breeders of today will note that the 

 valuations given placed too low a value on color of plumage, 

 only 26 points being designated to this important feature. But 

 the Scale of Points in the 1898 Standard was practically the 

 same, with the exception that "Typical Carriage" supplemented 

 "Symmetry." In the Scale of Points of the 1910 Standard we 

 find some important changes. Twenty-eight points are allotted 

 to color of plumage and the shape of the important body sections 

 gains three points. Weight counts less and failure to approach 

 Standard weight is more severely penalzied. By the allotment it 

 will be seen that more credit for merit was accorded to the sec- 

 tions which were in most varieties the most difficult to breed. 

 Plymouth Rocks were now recognized in six different colors and 

 color patterns, or six varieties, three of which were compara- 

 tively new. The color patterns of two of these were admittedly 

 difficult to produce, especially at that stage of development.
