Fern Pans. — The 

 best pot to grow Ferns 

 or Lycopodiums in. 

 They are made of 

 Terra Cotta, shallow 

 and porous, strong and 

 above all, very clean. 

 To grow Ferns in the house no better pot could be found, 

 if used in connection with the saucer to prevent the water 

 from dripping through. Instead of potting soil, Leaf 

 Mold should be used. Ferns grow best in it, it is light and 

 retains moisture much longer than any other soil. We have 

 these Pans and Saucers in the following sizes:

Poultry arid Live Stock; Department 



This depaitment is in the city limits, embraces two 5 acre tracts all under first class supervision. 



The following list contains an accurate and faithful description of thoroughbred Poultry, etc., that 

 we. are prepared to offer our patrons this season. Our stock comprises the very best and choicest 

 "scored" birds as found anywhere, while our prices are as reasonably low as merit will justify. 

 ■ v-U'our first annual Louisiana State Fair we scored eleven prizes. 

 W? r . Our pens are distinctly separated from one another, so much so that no intermixing can occur; the 

 land is well drained, and pens high, well ventilated and always kept in a clean and healthy condition. 

 From personal experience we have selected these breeds as specially adapted to our climate. We 

 handle no others. 



Birds are carefully packed and shipped F. O. B. here. The eggs are also carefully packed in separ- 

 ate department boxes which will insure their carriage several hundred miles. 



We guarantee our stock to be as represented. 

 ?J£ We will cheerfully furnish our customers with any kind of fancy birds wanted. Let us know your 

 wants.

 PEACOCKS. 



PEA-FOWL. (LAT. PAVO.) 



This magnificent bird is not a native of this country, but has 

 been domesticated in England for many years. The gorgeous 

 plumes that adorn the peacock do not compose the tail as many 

 suppose, but are only the tail coverts. The tail feathers them- 

 selves are short and rigid and serve to keep the train spread, as 

 may be seen when the bird walks about in all the majesty of his 

 expanded plumage. No collection of Poultry is complete with- 

 out one of these magnificent birds. Price, $10.00 per pair.

large bodies and rapid growth making them a good market fowl.

large part of their eggs when other breeds are not laying, and will do 



nearly as well in a cold coop as in a warm one, and are the largest 



araong imported fowls.
