Mr. A. P. Groves. Jr., 

 President of the Philadelphia 

 Poultry Association, says of the 



Buff Plymoath Hoeks: 



" This new ,-\nierie;in vari- 

 ety was admitted to theStaiul- 

 arti by the American Poultry 

 Association at a meeting lieM 

 in Chicago. October, 18y3. 

 They bid fair to rival their 

 barred cousins, as they are a 

 very beautiful fowl, bein.!- ex- 

 tremely hardy and splendid 

 layers of large eggs. Their 

 color being buff lias a richness 

 about it. A flock of these 

 birds on a lawn is a very 

 pleasing sight. I have bred 

 them three years and have no 

 hesitancy in saying that they 

 are the best all-purpose fowl, 

 combined with beauty, yet pro- 

 duced." Yours truly, 



A. P. Groves.

BARRED PLYMOUTH HOCK CO( KEREL. 



PHIZE UIHITH PliYMOUTH ROCKS 



This new breed is a sport from the Barred Plj-mouth Rock, 

 and promises to become even more popular than their "colored 

 cousins." They breed truer to color than any of the new white 

 l>reeds. Their large size, stately carriage and snow white plumage 

 are the admiration of all. They are sure to be in great demand, and 

 all who secure good brecdingstock will find itaprofitablc investment. 

 Being pure white they have no objectionable dark pin feathers. The 

 stock from which we are breeding we obtained at high cost, direct 

 from the originator in Maine. Prices White Plymouth Rocks,
