CHAS. L. BLANTON'S
BLACK MINORCAS
BARRED ROCKS ...

_FALLS CHURCH, VA._

There is nothing that costs so little and gives such returns as poultry.
For the past ten years I have been breeding Barred Plymouth Rocks and
Black Minorcas and have produced many high scoring exhibition birds that
have carried off honors in some of the largest shows in the United States
in very strong competition.
