JOHNSON & STOKES, PHILADELPHIA. 





We invite your perusal of the following pages, which we have devoted to our Live .Stock Department. To our old 

 customers, we need only say that we have added fresh prize-taking blood to all of our pens and yards, and you need not be 

 afraid of in-breeding by purchasing of us again. To those who have never bought I^ive Stock of us, we would add that we 

 guarantee the safe arrival of all shipments, and that they will be of the finest and choicest stock of this and other countries. 



OUK PRICES are as low as such high-class stock can be bred for; and it is unnecessary for you to write us to know if 

 we will take less than the prices published in our catalogue, as we cannot do so under any circumstances. 



EGGS FOR HATCHING. We guarantee all eggs fresh and true to name, and all from first-class stock. Frequently 

 chicks of black breeds liave some white feathers when hatched — this does not denote impurity, as they will throw them in 

 moulting and their plumage then becomes solid black. We can ship eggs only by express, to any State or Territory. We 

 cannot guarantee any certain number to hatch, as this depends on so many causes over which we have no control ; butour 

 system of packing is so perfect that excellent hatches are the rule, no matter how great tli£ distance. 



NO L,r\'E STOCK OR EGGS SENT C. O. D. Cash must accompany all orders. 



SHIPMENT.S. — Alwaj-s give us your Express and Post-Office plainly, and we will notify' you by telegraph or 

 mall in advance of all shipments. Express agents feed and water, and collect express charges at destination.

We know of no fowl possessing so many points of superiority for the poultry raiser or practical farmer as the Wliite 

 Wyandotte. For beauty and style they have no equal. Their plumage being a pure white, with legs, beaks and skin a rich 

 yellow. As a market or table fowl they have no superior. They have a close-fitting, medium size rose comb, and thus are 

 not troubled by the frost as the Minorcas and Leghorns. They commence laying very early and continue through the season, 

 uninterruptedly, if given reasonable care. The birds we are breeding are the best that careful selection and money could 

 secure. No birds to offer this season. Eggs, per setting of 13, $3.00 ; per 26, S5..50.
