Aylesbury and Rouen Ducks. 
I can spare a few superior Ducks, bred from the best 
imported stock, crossed with excellent birds from the yard 
of John Giles, Esq. The Aylesbury are pure white, large 
size, and have very light-colored, broad bills, free from 
black spots. Price per trio, $12. The Rouen ar ^ gray or 
mallard-color ; are larger than the Aylesbury, and the best 
I ever raised. Price per pair, $10 Both varieties are 
hardy, prolific, and excellent for the table. 
Black Spanish and Dorking Fowls. 
Can spare only three or four trios of each kind. My 
Spanish are bred from English prize birds imported by 
John Giles, Esq. They are white-faced, tall, trim-built, 
and sprightly. My Dorkings are bred from the excellent 
stock of Francis Rotch, Esq., crossed with other good 
birds. Price of each variety, $12 per trio. 
Game Fowls and Bantams. 
I can spare a few young Game Fowls. They are a cross 
between the pure bred Earl Derby strain, with white legs, 
feet and toes, and the English Black-breasted Red. I 
know of no better Game. When inature the cock will 
weigh about six pounds. The cockerels have white and 
the pullets dark legs. They are six months old. Price of 
males $5 ; or per pair $8. 
Two trios of Golden-Laced Sebright Bantam, and two 
of rose-combed Black Bantam, each at $6 per trio.

serymen and commercial gardeners, this journal, giving
