LOW’S CATALOGUE OF POULTRY. 
These do not differ from the Brown Leghorns except in color, which is white. 
They have the same symmetry of form and style of carriage, and equally aston- 
ishing laying powers ; as fancy birds, they are preferred by many to the brown, 
and they certainly breed truer to feather. Altogether they are very handsome 
birds, and in addition to their wonderful laying qualities, they should be in every 
poultry-yard on account of their value for crossing with other breeds which are 
deficient in this respect. The effect of this crossing will be quickly apparent in 
the progeny, not only in laying powers, but also in rapidity of growth, elegance of 
form, and fine table qualities. Eggs for hatching, $2.00 per setting of thirteen. 
Three settings of thirty-nine eggs for $5. For price of fowls see price list. 
BROWN LEGHORNS. 
The Leghorns are the most remarkable layers in the world, surpassing all other 
breeds in this respect, often averaging over 200 eggs per annum. Their eggs 
are of the largest size, much larger than those of the Hamburgs, and produced 
with such long continued regularity as to earn them the title of “laying ma- 
chines.” They are stylish and elegant birds with beautifully pencilled plumage ; 
are astonishingly hardy, bear confinement well, and being non setters, are the 
breed par excellence, where eggs alone are desired. They grow very fast and 
commence to lay when four or five months old. We recommend them very highly 
to all poultry-keepers, as they are sure to thrive well anywhere, even in the most 
confined runs and prove extremely profitable. Eggs for hatching, $2.00 per set- 
ting of thirteen ; 3 settings, 39 eggs, $5. For price of fowl, see price list. 
Of this breed of fowls Mr. Low says : "Being pleased with descriptions of 
fowls, I purchased a stock of Reed Watson of Connecticut (the original intro- 
ducer of them into this country) a careful and noted breeder, and have a superior 
peil of hens and pullets to breed from this season ; I consider them among the 
very finest breeds. They are of regular Leghorn shape and style, raven black in 
plumage, while in contrast they have pure white ear lobes and yellowish black 
legs, non-setters and if possible excel the whites for laying ; hardy and easy to 
raise.” Eggs, $2 per setting of 13 eggs ; 3 settings for $5. For price of fowls, 
sec price list.
