Mills 1904 Seed Catalogue","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn the spring of 1904, farmers across the northeastern United States opened their mailboxes to find a catalogue from F.B. Mills of Rose Hill, New York — not merely a commercial document, but a work of popular art that gave the Buff Orpington and the Barred Plymouth Rock the kind of vibrant, carefully observed portraits that natural history illustrators reserved for exotic birds in expensive scientific volumes.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe front cover reproduces F.B. Mills's chromolithographic portraits of twelve heritage chicken breeds — Buff Orpingtons, Barred Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, Wyandottes, Light Brahmas, and Sebright Bantams — each rendered in profile with the distinctive features of the breed clearly delineated, from the F.B. Mills Seed Catalogue, Rose Hill, New York, 1904. The back cover presents the F.B. Mills Poultry Farm advertisement featuring White Leghorns, Blue Andalusians, Silver Spangled Hamburgs, and Black Minorcas alongside a bird's-eye view of the Mills farm facilities — the confidence and pride of the early 20th-century American poultry industry at its most vivid.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: 5.75 × 8 in (14.6 × 20.3 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePages: 150 lined pages (75 sheets)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePerforated pages — tear out cleanly without damaging the binding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaper weight: 90 gsm, suitable for fountain pens and pencils\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardcover with matte finish, casewrap sewn binding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 400 g (14.1 oz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChicken keepers, backyard poultry enthusiasts, and heritage breed admirers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHomesteaders and small farm operators documenting flock records and farm notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage seed catalogue and American agricultural ephemera collectors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStudents and researchers of American agricultural history\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEveryday writing, field notes, and daily planning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThoughtful gifts for anyone captivated by the beauty of the American farmyard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRead more: \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/new-old-time\/fb-mills-1904-rose-hill-seed-catalogue-heritage-chicken-breeds-chromolithograph\"\u003eF.B.
