BARRED PLYMOUTH
ROCKS
First distinctively American
breed and still the most popu-
lar of the all-purpose breeds.
Barred Rocks are hardy and
vigorous; excellent winter lay-
ers, and also preferred by
experienced buyers of table
i'owl because of their abundant
breast meat and bright yellow
skin. Easy to raise and will
thrive anywhere.
Barred Plymouth Rock
BUFF ORPINGTONS
A choice table bird — either as broiler or roaster. They
develop rapidly, eight-week-old cockerels often weighing two
pounds. They are excellent winter layers, stately in appear-
ance, with long, round deep bodies, full breasts and broad
backs.
JERSEY BLACK GIANTS
This new breed is becoming more popular every year. The
plumage is lustrous greenish black, skin a rich yellow, finest
table fowl, extremely large and heavy; excellent layers of
large brown eggs.
^■:^
WHITE LEGHORNS
Most widely used breed of
chickens, being the best of all
for egg production.
The strain which we offer
are bred to suit the require-
ments of commercial egg farms
and every possible means has
been employed in developing
the stock for this purpose.
White Leghorn
WHITE WYANDOTTES
One of the oldest and most
popular of all American breeds,
and ranking among the highest
as egg producers. They have
broad backs, deep round bodies,
large red rose combs, yellow
skin, and heavy close fitting
plumage which enables them to
withstand cold weather. Very
striking in appearance; unsur-
passed for table fowl.
White Wyandotte
Rhode Island Red
RHODE ISLAND RED
One of the best layers of the
heavy breeds and an excellent
table fowl. Somewhat rangier
than Plymouth Rocks but the
strongest competitor. A very
profitable breed for the farmer.
They are universally popular,
however, with all poultrymen.
WHITE ROCKS
Differ from Barred Rocks
only in their plumage. Quiet
and easily confined. Popular be-
cause of their beauty, produc-
tiveness and value for market
purposes; they dress easily hav-
ing no dark pin feathers. Not-
able layers of large brown eggs.
