FRESH, HEALTHY CHICKS 
Day-Old Chicks can not be properly cared for in a show- 
window or in a busy seed store and for this reason we do not 
regularly carry them in stock. It is requested, therefore, 
that you anticipate your requirements and order as far in 
advance as possible. You can in this way specify a definite 
delivery date and we can serve you direct from our hatchery 
with strong chicks full of vitality. 
ORDERS 
It is very important that you let us have your order as 
early as possible. Just as soon as you have read this page 
is the very best time. Should there be a decline in the mar- 
ket price of chicks, we will make an adjustment to equal 
the reduction. 
Customers not having charge accounts with us are re- 
quested to send at least one-fourth of the price when plac- 
ing orders; remittance for balance to reach us before ship- 
ment is made. No chicks sent C.0O.D. No orders accepted 
for less than 25 chicks of any one variety. 
DELIVERIES 
Chicks are forwarded postpaid and brief instructions are 
sent with each order, suggesting best methods of care and 
feeding. Be prepared; see that hovers are in good condi- 
tion, and have a ready supply of grit, charcoal and Butter- 
milk Starting Feed. 
Please Note—Inspect chicks immediately upon arrival. If 
full count live chicks are not received, have postman sign a 
statement showing number dead, mail this to us and a satis- 
factory adjustment will be made. 
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 
1 b eggs. 
aes BLACK MINORCAS 
Noted chiefly for their very large white eggs which com: 
mand highest prices in the New York Market. They are 
hardy and begin laying when four to five months of age. 
They have glossy black plumage, large combs, black legs 
and white skin. 
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 rangler 
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.
