WHITE PLYMOUTH ROCKS 



The While Plymouth Kock is a New England pro 

 duction. The honors belong to 0. F. Frost, of the Suite 

 of Maine, who. about ten years ago, secured the fir>-t 

 stock from his Barred variety, which sported some 

 white birds. From these specimens, practicallysprung 

 the family now so popular, and which are coming 

 further to the front every day. 



Having a plump full breast, and a bright lemon 

 yellow skin, they possess good characteristics for table 

 purposes. Theylay a good-sized egg, and the reports 

 given us by breeders, of the variety, and which v e 

 from tune to time published in Farm PotrLTEY, show 

 that thev at timesdo wonderful work in egg production
