Prize Winning Barred Plymoutli RogI(s. 



The Barred Plymouth Rock is perhansthe most popu- 

 lar and Mridely known variety of lowls bred in America. 

 In almost every barn-yard flock of fowls you will find 

 specimens which their "owner vows to be the pure and 

 u't-nuine Plymouth Rock. They are justly styled the 

 Farmer's Fowl." We believe we have as fine a strain 

 oi Karred Plymouth Rocks as can be found in America 

 and our yards have produced many prize birds. The 

 magnificent cockerel we illustrate," was hatched last 

 March and photographed in November. They develop 

 early, making good market chickens at three months 

 old," are yellow legged, hardy and easily reared. They 

 commence laying very early, and feather early ; meat 

 yellow and juicy : good mothers. Prices: Trio. S'.t.OO : 

 pair. Sfi.oO ; cockerel. S3.50 to 64.50. Eggs for hatching, 

 S2.00 for 13, or S3.75 for 26. 



"This new American vari- 

 ety was admitted to the Stand- 

 ard by the American Poultry 

 Association at a meeting held in 

 Chicago, October, 1893. They 

 bid fair to rival their barred 

 cousins as they are a very beau- 

 tifal fowl, being extremely har- 

 dy and splendid layers of'large 

 eggs. Their color being buff 

 has a richness about it. A flock 

 of tliese 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 tnilv,"
