STORIES OF SUCCESS WITH PLYMOUTH ROCK HOMERS 



Manual is, from every point of view, that is, 

 as a biisiness book, a model of the rare thing 

 called ** good " English, and almost as a 

 Naturalist's standard work — the best thing 

 I ever saw. This letter does not call for re- 

 ply, but it does no harm to an;s^ one to know 

 that a good piece of his work is recognized 

 and appreciated by some one else who believes 

 in and strives to do good work himself. I 

 wish you continued success. — P. G. A., San 

 Francisco, 



HIS NEIGHBOR HAS DONE WELL FOR 

 NINE MONTHS AND WILL NOT SELL ANY. 

 The pigeons came two hours ahead of your 

 letter informing me of the shipment. They 

 arrived in fine condition, had plenty of feed 

 and water, and were delivered promptly, 

 and I am pleased with them. They are 

 beauties. My neighbor, Mr. Cole, bought six 

 pairs from you last June and ^ now, nine 

 months later, has nearly fifty pigeons, and 

 will not sell one of them at any price. I 

 tried all over this city of sixty thousand peo- 

 ple to buy six pairs of pigeons and could find 

 only one pair for sale. I return basket today. 

 Please accept thanks for your prompt de- 

 Uvery.— R. M. T., Ohio.

 EROUS MANNER. My pigeons arrived

HE HAS NOT LOST A BIRD, YOUNG OR 

 OLD, IN BREEDING FROM PLYMOUTH 

 ROCK STOCK. Will you please give me 

 address of parties who buy pigeon mantire? 

 The birds purchased of you one year ago 

 next month have done well. I have not dis- 

 posed of any and have not lost one young or 

 old. It has caused considerable talk here- 

 about, for many parties have pigeons and 

 have lost many of them. Newcomb.- who 

 botight a few of you on my advice , told me 

 he wished he had bought all of you, but he 

 bought of several other sources and has been 

 dissatisfied. I have about completed my 

 big house and shall soon call on you for more 

 birds. — ^A. P., Massachusetts.
