THE COTTAGE GARDENER 
February 9. 
The White Aylesbury and Rouen Ducks mustered strongly, 
and showed in good feather; hut in the latter variety, the 
deterioration, both in form and colour, from such as a few 
years back figured A 1 at the Birmingham Shows, and again 
and again were subjected to the ordeal of the scales by the 
judges, and varied from 30J-lbs. to 34lbs. the four, accord¬ 
ing to their condition, convinced the most sceptical that 
new blood is here wanting, for certainly great size was (with 
the colours of the pure Wild Duck) indicative of original 
purity, and ought, if possible, to be maintained." 
The Judges were E. Bond, Esq., Leeds; T. Challoner, 
Esq., Worksop; E. Hewitt, Esq , Birmingham ; W. Symonds, 
Esq., Weymouth; and W. Trotter, Esq., Newcastle-upon-
