Silver Spangled Hamburgs The Silver Spangled Hamburgs are one of the most beautiful varietiesthat can be found on the poultry list. No one can pass a flock of themwithout a glance of admiration. For beauty they are unsurpassed, andtoo much could not be said of this beautiful breed. As egg producers theystand in the front rank, laying the year around. In color eggs are white,and medium size. Chicks grow quite fast and mature very early. Pulletsoften begin laying at four months old. They are very small feeders, andbear confinement in small enclosures remarkably well. For laying qualities and beauty they stand on their own merits and can-not be over-estimated. Hens will weigh from three to four and one-halfpounds; cocks from four to five and one-half pounds. Eggs, $2.00 per 15; $3.50 per 30; $5.00 per 45; $8.00 per 100. singlebirds, $3.00; pair, $6.00; trio, $8.00; pen, 1 male and 4 females, $12.00;L male and 10 females, $25.00. 60 CRESCENT POULTRY FARM
