CHINESE GEESE. 



Chinese geese breed true to type —The popularity of Chinese— The 

 laying qualities— Chinese geese for crossing and market. 



/'^ HINESE Geese breed truer to type than any other 

 ^^ variety I know of in England. They are not large, 

 but are certainly by far the handsomest geese which have 

 ever been bred for domestic purposes in this country. They 

 are an ornament to any place. They have a long and grace- 

 ful neck, very thin and curved, much the same as that of a 

 swan. The bill is black, with a kind of a horn or peak 

 right at the top between the eyes, and a beautiful grey 

 pencilled body. 



I have every reason to believe this variety will become 

 very popular in England. I am breeding a large number 

 of them now as there is a great demand for them. The eggs 

 are very fertile, and one reason people like them so much 

 in their pure state is, they breed so true to colour and look 

 such an ornament to any place.
