ped by Express in baskets properly packed to insure their safe carriage and we warrant them 
to be fresh, true to breed and name, and guarantee a fair hatch. The eggs we ship

The quality of Mr. Low ’s stock is unsurpassed and his facilities for properly separating the 
different breeds to insure their purity and true breeding is perfect. The main house is 200 feet 
long divided into 15 pens, each having a large grass run for summer and a covered glass run for 
wdnter, ample provision is made by an additional building two stories high, 18x20 feet at each 
end of the main building for the cooking of food, storage of grain, exhibition coops, cistern, 
etc., also for the hatching of chicks ; a more complete establishment would be hard to find. A 
recent visitor remarking that it was better than a “Poultry Show” to visit the breeding pens. 
We supply as good stock as can be procured and at a very low price compared with other breed- 
ers lists. Perfect satisfaction w'e guarantee. 
Silver Laced Wyandottes. 
Distinctly an American breed, formerly known as Sebrights. They are large birds, ap- 
proaching the Plymouths in size, very trim and neat looking with elegantly variegated plumage 
and stylish carriage.” They are good layers and excellent table birds. They are perfectly hardy, 
bear confinement well, and are good mothers although not persistent sitters. With all these 
good qualities to recommend them, large size and handsome plumage, good laying qualities, 
excellent flesh and hardiness, it is not to be wondered that they should become extremely 
popular. The supply has not heretofore been equal to the demand; those who want to make 
sure of a hatching this season should send in their orders early. This breed is already so high- 
ly appreciated that it is unnecessary for us to praise them ; they are very popular and richly 
deserve to be. 
SggF°We have four magnificent breeding pens of these fowls and can sup- 
ply eggs in large or small lots, at $3 per setting of 13 eggs ; $5 per two set- 
ings of 28 eggs.
