152 THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1906 
Thoroughbred Poultry and Eggs for Hatching. 
I Have Spared no expense to have the finest stock, keeping several 
distinct yards of each breed, so that I can send out stock pure and 
not akin. The prices quoted, which are my very lowest, are for first- 
class breeding fowls, from the very best strains, properly mated. 
I guarantee safe arrival and entire satisfaction. 
Eaas FOR HATCHING. I guarantee all eggs fresh and true to 
name. I can ship eggs by express only, 
and use the utmost care in packing, but cannot guarantee any number 
to hatch, as this depends on causes over which I have no control. I 
have frequently sent eggs 1,000 to 3,000 miles, and had 12 out of 13 hatch.
