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. 
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- 
oe with long, round deep bodies, full breasts and broad 
acks. 
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 
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.
