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.

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.O.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, 

 plumage is lustrous greenish black, ski 



The 

 rich yellow, finest 

 table fowl, extremely large and heavy; excellent layers of 

 large brown eggs. 



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 



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.
