EGGS FOR HATCHING 



\X hy keep Leghorns when Buttercups are so 

 much better"-* Buttercups lay large white eggs 

 the same as White Leghorns do, and a yard of 

 them will produce as many eggs, or more, as ^vill 

 the same number of the best W hite Leghorns. 

 They are as healthy and are hardier, but here 

 is the point: fifty; Buttercups Tvill require no 

 rr.ore feed than thirty Leghorns! 



Further, they feather and mature quickly, 

 have plump, round bodies, yellow skin and are 

 of excellent quahty, both as broilers and roast- 

 ers — a big contrast with Leghorns. Still fur- 

 ther, instead of having a wild, untamable na- 

 ture, they are gentle and friendly. 

 Those who know what Buttercups really are 

 will not accept Leghorns as a gift, if obliged to keep them. 



We have known the untold value of Buttercups for a l©ng time. Since 1 904 

 we have been carefully and patiently breeding and improving them. As a matter 

 of fact, a very large percentage of the breeders of Buttercups of to-day throughout 

 the Lnited States, obtained their first stock or eggs of this incomparable egg-pro- 

 ducing breed from Clover Hill Farm. Modesty and professional courtesy forbids 

 our giving their names in print. 



The name Buttercup was given to the breed by reason of their cup-shaped 

 combs with numerous points suggesting Buttercup flowers. Indeed, a flock of But- 

 tercups, with their bright red flower-shaped combs, green legs and buff plumage mot- 

 tled with black of the females, contrasting with the orange red plumage of the males, 

 quite resembles a flower garden. 



Buttercups are very intelligent, active, good foragers, gentle and friendly; and 

 light feeders. If given a free range they require no feeding at all, except in winter. 

 They are exceptionally vigorous and hardy, and as "plump as a partridge." For 

 eggs, eggs, eggs, at all seasons of the year, there is no other breed that approaches 

 them. The chicks are lively, wide-awake little fellows, and begin to scratch almost 

 at once upon leaving the shell. Pullets begin to lay at an early age and keep right 

 at it even during the coldest weather. 



Our breeding yard is made up of four pens, each containing twelve females 

 and one male, every bird having been selected for its excellence in plumage, comb, 

 color of legs, etc. In filling orders, eggs w^ill be sent from each of the four pens. 

 Price, $3.00 per setting of 15 eggs, or two settings (30 eggs) for $5.50. We 

 successfully ship eggs for hatching to all points in the U. S. Folder giving full 

 details mailed upon receipt of request.
