Publisher's Synopsis
This special re-print edition of the USDA's book "Standard Varieties of Chickens: The Asiatic, English and French Classes" contains a treasure trove of information on chicken breeds. Written in 1919, the rarity of original copies has brought forth the demand for this much needed reprint of this important historic work on chicken breeds, including the Brahma, Cochin, Langshan, Dorking, Red Cap, Orpington, Cornish, Sussex, Houdan, La Fleche, Faverolle and Creveceour. Note: This edition is a perfect facsimile of the original edition and is not set in a modern typeface. As a result, some type characters and images might suffer from slight imperfections or minor shadows in the page background.
