SPRING SEED CATALOG-HENRY FIELD CO.-SHENANDOAH 
More Colonial Chicks Sold Than Any 
Other Brand 
It has always been the aim of Field’s 
to supply the best possible, for the price, 
in baby chicks and we are glad to know 
that Colonial brand chicks are the fastest 
selling brand of chicks in the world. 
Now you know that it would be impos¬ 
sible for any brand, of anything, to stand 
up year after year as the leading seller 
unless that brand had the real thing in 
back of it. You know what it would be 
simply impossible to get out and find 
enough new customers every year to take 
all these millions of chicks. 
The best recommendation we know of 
for Colonial chicks is the fact that more 
of them are sold than any other kind and 
that has been a fact for five years and 
still is. 
So when you come to Field’s for chicks 
you get Colonial brand chicks hatched and 
delivered in true Henry Field style as we 
have one of the very largest Colonial 
hatcheries right here in Shenandoah which 
was located here just to handle Henry 
Field’s chick orders so remember that you 
not only get chitks with the world’s largest 
chick producers in back of them but also 
with Field’s reputation and guarantee for 
fair and square dealing. 
Don’t forget that the day of chick sur¬ 
pluses is probably gone forever and that 
you must place your order as far in ad¬ 
vance as you can to be assured of getting 
chicks when wanted and, of course, those 
who order early save real money. 
Colonial 
Reds 
Win.... 
When a boy wins 
championship on any¬ 
thing for six straight 
years it is something to 
be mighty proud of, and 
that is what James 
Hesler, live wire 4-H 
Club and Capper Club 
boy of Phillips County, 
Kansas, has done, with 
his Colonial Reds. 
To make a record like 
this is something really 
outstanding and above 
the average, even with 
Colonial chicks; but the 
fact that James Hesler 
Five silver cups won with Colonial Reds by James Hesler 
has won the Capper cup, given each year to the Capper Club 
member having the most profitable flock of poultry, for six 
years and each time with Colonial Reds, is the best possible 
proof that Colonial Reds are consistent in production ability. 
Here are the records, made six years in succession, by 
Hesler, on his best pen each year of Colonial Reds; 1928 
average 271 eggs, 1929 average 275 eggs, 1930 average 254 
eggs, 1931 average 260 eggs, 1932 average 297 eggs and in 
1933 his best pen made the remarkable average of 302 eggs! 
PADGETT’S Speckled Sussex 
Padgett’s Speckled Sussex 
For you people that want a dual-purpose 
chicken this one should appeal to you. In 
England the Sussex is the most popular 
meat chicken. They are also good Fall 
and Winter layers while eggs are selling 
highest. You will remember the old saying 
that an egg in December is worth three in 
May. Lots of truth in that. The color 
of this chicken is similar to a Rhode 
Island Red except that the surface of the 
feathers are tipped with white specks. They 
are possibly a little darker than many 
Reds. Make a very beau¬ 
tiful chicken. Simon 
Trinklein o f Colorado 
says they outlay his 
Reds and began laying a 
month earlier. All first 
prizes of this breed at 
the World’s Fair went to 
Padgett’s Speckled Sus¬ 
sex in both the egg-con¬ 
test and show. 
Oldest Breed On 
Record 
Sussex were bred long 
before our common Am¬ 
erican breeds were even 
thought of. The British 
Year Book on Poultry 
published in London, 
says; “There can be no 
denying the fact that 
Sussex is a world-wide 
breed, known and kept in 
every corner of the globe. 
It has easily become the 
most popular breed. Here 
is a fowl which will 
please the eye, please the 
taste and turn out the 
eggs much better than 
the average breed.”
