Nursery stock Pennsylvania Philadelphia Catalogs; Flowers Southern States Catalogs; Vegetables Southern States Catalogs; Seeds Southern States Catalogs. BURPEE'S FARM PAIR OF PKIZB BROWN LEGHORNS, BRED BY TV. ATLEB BURPEE. PHILADELPHIA. BROWN LEGHORNS. This now famous breed of *' everlasting layers" has always been a favorite of ours, and our stock has gained an enviable reputation. We have furnished many prominent breeders and exhibitors with single birds from our stock, at prices from ^25 to ^40 each, and have testimonials of the highest character. We have not exhibited since the Cen- tennial, but in i874-'5 we won the first prizes at both the Fanciers' Show and the Exhibition of Pennsylvania State Poultry Society, in Philadelphia, at the latter also winning special for best pair of Leghorns of any variety. The accompanying beautiful illustration, which is probably the best yet engraved of this breed, is no fancy sketch, but was accurately drawn frotnli/e, oi the birds bred by us, which won the highest Centennial prize medal. Our fowls and chicks have large, solid, white ear lobes, correct combs and bright yellow legs, united with symmetry and elegance of form. Pullets are most delicately penciled, with beautiful maroon breasts, of that deep rich shade so highly esteemed and so difficult to attain. Cockerels have solid black breasts, and resemble the black-red game in plumage. In beauty few breeds can vie with the Brown Leghorn. As prolific layers (being non-sitters) none can equal them. Their eggs are of f^iir size, and pure white. They are the very best breed when eggs alone are desired. They feather and mature wondrous early. The young cockerels begin to crow at six weeks old, and pullets to lay at four and a half months. They are very hardy,sure to live and thrive well anywhere, and being the best of foragers, will shift well for themselves. Price $ per pair; ^ per t
