White Wyandottes 



Make the Finest Broilers. 



We know of no fowl possessing so many 

 points of superiority for the poultry raiser or 

 practical farmer as he White 'Wyandotte. 

 for beauty, style and fine form they have no 

 equal, their plumage being a pure snow white, 

 with legs, beaks and skin a rich yellow. As a 

 market or table fowl they have no superior. 

 They mature quickly, commence laying very 

 early and continue through the season unin- 

 terruptedly. They are good foragersand make 

 the kindest mothers. The Standard weights 

 are S)4, 1%, 6^ and 6)^ pounds for cooks, 

 cockerels, hens and pullets. The head is short 

 and broad, small rose comb, neck short and 

 well arched, and flowing with abundant 

 hackle, back broad and short, breast deep and 

 broad, legs a bright yellow in color, and mar- 

 ket poultry authorities place it at the head of 

 broiler breeds. The birds we are breeding are 

 the best that careful selection and money can 

 secure.

 $5.00 ; trio, cock and two hens, $9.00. Eggs 

 for Hatching, from our best prize stock, per

WHITE WYANDOTTES. 



Wy^mciottes. 



■ The history of the Wyandotte dates back to about 

 1871, but it was not until 1883that the name Wyandotte 

 was given the production. Mr. I. K . Felch prepared 

 the original standard for the breed. There were a 

 number of crosses in starting this variety, but the 

 foundation eventually drifted to a cross of Silver 

 Spangled Hamburg and Dark Brahma, with the best 

 of the other crosses. The Standard calls for the iollow- 

 ing weights : Eight and a half pounds for cock ; seven 

 and a half pounds for cockerel ; six and a half pounds 

 for hen, and five and a half pounds for pullet. They 

 are rose combed, ending in a spike. The back is short, 

 at the shoulders broad and iiat. The breast is well 

 rounded, deep and broad. The body is well rounded, 

 deep and short. In color of plumage the variety is a 

 silvery white, with regularly marked white lacing on 

 breast. The fowls are excellent layers, good sitters 

 and mothers. The color of skin is golden, and their 

 general make-up renders an ideal broiler or small- 



PKICES :■— Single cock or cockerel, 83.00 to 85.00 ; 

 trio, cock and two hens, 89.00 ; eggs per setting, 82.50 ; 

 per 26, 84.50. 



GOLDEN WYANDOTTES. 



SILVER LACED WYANDOTTES. 



Golden 

 Wyandottes. 



This is a new and popular breed of fowls, and 

 after a thorough trial we find them among the 

 very best. In color they are rich golden bay laced 

 with black, and as no color harmonizes with black 

 better than gold, and as no golden fowl has such 

 rich golden plumage, they are undoubtedly among 

 the handsomest fowls extant. As a general-pur- 

 pose fowl they rank with their older ccmsins, the 

 Silver Laced Wyandottes, but surpass them some- 

 what in size. They are extremely hardy, active, 

 and good foragers, and persons looking for some- 

 thing new, handsome, and of excellent qaality 

 should give them a trial. 



PRICES:— Single cock or cockerel, 88.00 to 

 35.00 ; trio, cock and two hens, 89.00 ; eggs per 

 setting, 82.50 ; per 26, $4.50. 



R. C. McLean, Pittsburg, Pa. writes : " The 

 Golden Wyandottes arrived safely and in good 

 order, and are very satisfactory. Thanking you for 

 your selection, I am very truly yours."
