. Burpee's farm annual : garden, farm, and flower seeds, thoroughbred stock. Nursery stock Pennsylvania Philadelphia Catalogs; Flowers Pennsylvania Catalogs; Vegetables Pennsylvania Catalogs; Seeds Pennsylvania Catalogs. PAIR OF IMPERIAL PEKIN DUCKS. fflPERIAL PEKffl DnCIS. This new breed has proved a very valuable acquisition. On account of their loose, fluffy feathers, large size, broad, square bodies and erect carriage, they are sometimes mis- taken for geese, and their feathers are equally as valuable. Pekins are clad in a beautiful coat of creamy whiteness, with yellow bills and orange legs. They are very large, mature very early, and are the largest and best of all ducks to market young. They are great layers, a single duck having laid 200 eggs in a twelvemonth. They are easily confined, and thrive perfectly without any water for swim- ming. They are the most popular ducks in America to- day, and we have supplied a very extended demand from our large stock, which has given and shall continue to give entire satisfaction.

ScHMiD, Darlington, , writes:—The Impe- rial Pekin ducks are the admiration of all who see them; have four of them, and they cannot be bought for $ Robert Shields, Fond-du-Lac, Wis., writes:—From the half dozen Turkey eggs I received from you, four hatched ; have a monster gobler, which weighs now 37 fi)s., and he is beautifiil. H. F. Shull, Beaver Dam, Ohio, writes :—The Light Brahma fowls arrived in good condition. I am very well pleased with them. They are superior to any fowls I have had before. R. F. Bingham, Santa Barbara, Cal., writes:—The Sebright eggs I received from you have hatched 16 nice chicks. A friend of mine sent East for eggs, and only five out of forty-four hatched. Jos. Marks, Oak Grove, San Diego Co., Cal., writes : —The Plymouth Rocks were received in first-class condi- tion, and am well pleased. EGYP
