BARRED PLYMOUTH ROCKS/r^HRrc^VeTEBD'* 



The Barred Plymoutli Rocks originated from a cross of 

 the Black Javas of 1851, the Wliite Birniinghams and the 

 American Dominiques. In 187(5 they became an established 

 breed, and admitted to the American Standard. The w eights 

 are 9^, 8, ly^ and 6V2 pounds for cocks, cockerels, hens and 

 pullets. In the male the head and comb are of medium sire, 

 the latter being single; there is abundant hackle, a broad 

 back and breast, and long and abundant saddle feathers. 

 The legs are yellow. The body color is of a grayish-white, 

 with parallel bars of blue black crossing each feather regu- 

 larly. The saddle, hackle and neck barring is closer and 

 more narrow, and runs the entire length of the feather. 

 Color of plumage and other characteristics of the female are 

 similar to those of the male. 



Our strain of these popular birds is very fine. We spare 

 no expense to have our breeding yards as nearly perfect in 

 form and symmetrv and markings as pos.sible. 



Price, single Cockerels, S3.(X) to S5.00; trio, S9.00. 



Eggs, per setting, S2.00; 2 sellings, S3.50. 



GOLDEN WYANDOTTES 



This is a new and popular breed of 

 fowls, and after a thorough trial we 

 tind them among the very best. In 

 color they are rich golden toy 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-purpose fowl 

 they rank with their older cousins, the 

 Silver Laced 'Wyaudottes, but surpass them 

 somewhat in size. The.v are e.Nlremely hard.v, 

 active, and good foragers, and persons looking 

 for something new, handsome and of excel- 

 lent qualitv should give thein a trial. 



PRICES :— Single cock or cockerel, S3.00 

 to So. 00; trio, cock and two hens, S9. CO; eggs 

 per setting, S2.50; per 26, S4..50. 



SILVER LACED WYANDOTTES 



They are rose-combed, ending in a spike. 

 The back is short, at Iheshoulders broad and 

 fiat. 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-sized roaster.

 per setting, 82.50; per 26, $1.50. 



White Wyandottes 



Make the Finest Broilers 



We know of no fowl possessing so many points of super- 

 iority for the poultry raiser or practical farmer as the A\liite 

 ■\Vyandotte. For beauty, style and tine 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 

 the.v have no superior. Tliey mature quickly, commence 

 laying very early and continue through the season uninter- 

 ruptedly. They are good foragers and make the kindest 

 mothers.
