AMERICAN POULTRY CULTURE 
White Plymouth Rocks. Wave the same gen- 
eral characteristics as the other Plymouth Rocks, 
and in addition are the easiest to breed true to 
color of any variety in this family. The only diffi- 
culty is in getting the plumage pure white, with- 
out any brassiness or creaminess, and the skin and 
legs a deep yellow color; it is a rather difficult 
combination, but careful breeding for the past 
few years has accomplished much. 
Buff Plymouth Rocks. The latest standard 
addition to the Plymouth Rock family, and the 
most popular buff breed in the American field to- 
day. As in all buff varieties, the desired color is a 
uniform shade of rich, golden buff, free from 
black and white, although either of these two 
colors appearing in wings or tails is not a dis- 
qualification, owing to the scarcity of absolutely 
solid-colored specimens. 
Columbian Plymouth Rocks. Bred only in 
small numbers as yet and exclusively in the hands 
of fanciers. Not yet recognized as a “ standard” 
variety, but will doubtless be very popular when 
more nearly perfected, as they combine the unex- 
celled utility qualities of the Plymouth Rock with 
the beautiful color and markings of the Light 
Brahma. 
There are also the Silver and the Partridge Ply- 
mouth Rocks, but these are neither common nor 
“ standard.”
