62 BREEDING AND REARING OF 



Frank Lester, Jr., individually imported a lot of 

 Catalonian jacks in 1889. They were a good, even 

 lot. 



In 1886 Dr. B. Stone Plumlee purchased two Anda- 

 lusian jacks and one jennet, and shipped to the United 

 States with the importation of J. D. & W. H. Good- 

 pasture. One of these proved to be a great breeder, 

 and is in Jackson County, Tennessee. 



Dr. Plumlee imported the following year from 

 Malta, the year afterwards from Italy, and in 1889 

 from Catalonia. In the last lot was a colt that ranked 

 with the best imported. 



In the spring of 1889 Messrs. Lyles & Parmer im- 

 ported about twenty jacks and jennets, mostly jennets, 

 which they sold at auction at Lexington, Ky. 



In 1889 also Pierce, Burford, Lyles, Parmer and 

 others imported a large number of Catalonian jacks. 



In 1890 the same firm, with A. B. Harlan, of Maury 

 County, imported from the same place. 



Messrs. Berry & Murray, of Hendersonville, Tenn., 

 made importations of Catalonians and Majorcas in 

 i887-'88-'89-'90, including King of Inca, and other 

 good ones. 



In 1887 a firm of Hebrews in Nashville, Tenn., 

 imported a lot of Italian jacks. I think that they made 

 two importations that year, and the following year 

 imported from Catalonia. 



Messrs. Roth & McClain, in 1889, imported a few 

 Italian jacks also. 



In 1887 Messrs. Ezell, Fannin and Burnett made 

 an importation of Catalonian jacks. 



In 1889 a gentleman from Putnam County, Ten- 

 nessee, a Mr. Young, imported eight or ten Catalo- 

 nians.
