THE EXHIBITION OF POULTRY IN THE PUBLIC 

 GARDEN, NOVEMBER 15 AND 16, 1849. 



I REGARD it as a matter of some interest and importance, that 

 the account which has been published of the fowl show held 

 in the Public Garden, at Boston, on the 15th and 16th of Nov., 

 1849, should be preserved in a permanent form. It is natural 

 that I should feel a peculiar interest in the matter, as the show 

 was originally suggested by me. From the documents printed 

 below, it will appear that the first idea was much less compre- 

 hensive than the result. On the 8th of October, 1849, I 

 addressed the following communication to the editor of the 

 Boston Cultivator, which will explain itself, on perusal. 



CONVENTION OF DOMESTIC FOWL-BREEDERS. 



MR. EDITOR: Permit me, through the Cultivator, to say 

 that, as many persons have been imposed upon and deceived 

 into the purchase of spurious fowls, supposing them to be pure 

 bloods, I will exhibit, in Quincy Market, Boston, on Thursday, 

 the 15th of November, from ten o'clock, A. M., to three o'clock, 

 P. M., perfect samples of the full-blooded domestic fowls of 

 the following breeds : 



Golden Pheasants, Plymouth Rocks, 



Shanghaes, Yankee Games, 



Cochin Chinas, Fawn-colored Dorkings, 



Great Malays, Pearl-white Dorkings, 



Great Javas, English Ravens, 



Wild Indian, Bavarians.
