. Philips' 1902 seed annual : everything for the farm and garden. Nursery stock Pennsylvania Catalogs; Vegetables Seeds Catalogs; Flowers Seeds Catalogs; Gardening Equipment and supplies Catalogs. 60 J. M. Philips' Barred Plymouth "Rock. New breed have come and gone, but Plymoth Rock always remain 1st favoite The Barred Plymouth Rock has been termed America's Idol. It is the farmers delight, the poulterers "stand by.' and the villagers best friend, as it can be depended on to yield a generous supply of eggs and savory flesh. For meat,- size, laying qualities, vigor, quick growing and attractiveness combined there is no breed that will not suffer by comparison. This difficult union of qualities makes the Barred Plymouth Rock a perennial favorite. For the market they are one of the best, being large, with plump bodies and full breast, with clean yellow legs and skin. For these reasons and many others they always command a high price. For table fowls they have but few equals, being sweet, juicy, fine-grained, tender and delicate. As layers they are considered above the average. A larger.' percentage of their eggs hatch and fewer of their chicks die than any other breed. Many breeds stop laying during the winter, but the steady-going Plymouth Rocks bid defiance to the season, provided their house be a warm one and they are plentifully supplied with food convertible into eggs. They always mature early -and are splendid foragers, fast growers, and compactly built. The hens are the most patient of brooders and the best of mothers, and so determined are they to bring up a family that they often adopt stray chicks.
