BARRED PLYMOUTH 

 ROCKS 



First distinctively American 

 breed and still the most popu- 

 lar of the all-purpose breeds. 

 Barred Rocks are hardy and 

 vigorous; excellent winter lay- 

 ers, and also preferred by 

 experienced buyers of table 

 fowl because of their abundant 

 breast meat and bright yellow 

 skin. Easy to raise and will 

 thrive anywhere. 



Barred Plymouth Rock 



BUFF ORPINGTONS 



A choice table bird — either as broiler or roaster. They 

 develop rapidly, eight-week-old cockerels often weighing two 

 pounds. They are excellent winter layers, stately in appear- 

 ance, with long, round deep bodies, full breasts and broad 

 backs. 



JERSEY BLACK GIANTS 



This new breed is becoming more popular every year. The 

 plumage is lustrous greenish black, skin a rich yellow, finest 

 table fowl, extremely large and heavy; excellent layers of 

 large brown eggs. 



WHITE LEGHORNS 



Most widely used breed of 

 chickens, being the best of all 

 for egg production. 



The strain which we offer 

 are bred to suit the require- 

 ments of commercial egg farms 

 and every possible means has 

 been employed in developing 

 the stock for this purpose. 



White Leghorn 

 WHITE WYANDOTTES 



One of the oldest and most 

 popular of all American breeds, 

 and ranking among the highest 

 as egg producers. They have 

 broad backs, deep round bodies, 

 large red rose combs, yellow 

 skin, and heavy close fitting 

 plumage which enables them to 

 withstand cold weather. Very 

 striking in appearance; unsur- 

 passed for table fowl. 



White Wyandotte 



Rhode Island Red 



RHODE ISLAND RED 



One of the best layers of the 

 heavy breeds and an excellent 

 table fowl. Somewhat rangier 

 than Plymouth Rocks but the 

 strongest competitor. A very 

 profitable breed for the farmer. 

 They are universally popular, 

 however, with all poultrymen. 



WHITE ROCKS 



Differ from Barred Rocks 

 only in their plumage. Quiet 

 and easily confined. Popular be- 

 cause of their beauty, produc- 

 tiveness and value for market 

 purposes; they dress easily hav- 

 ing no dark pin feathers. Not- 

 able layers of large brown eggs.
