PRINGLE'S NEW HYBRID SPRING WHEATS. 



CHAMPLAIN.— A bearded variety- A cross between the Black Seaand the Golden Drop — combining the remarkable hardi- 

 ness of the former, with the 8Hi)erior quality of the latter. Its stroiig and vigorous straw, growing « to VL inches higher than Its 

 parent varieties, stands erect, frequently bearing even in very ordinary culture heads from 5 to 6 inches in length, containing 

 from 60 to 75 kernels each. Price, $1.(X) per lb., 3 lbs. $2.60, liy mail, post-paid. 



I DEFIANCE.— Another variety of spring wheat of the highest promise, the result of a series of experiments, to incorporate 

 superior qualities upon the hardy stock of our common Club Wheat, by hybridizing it with one of the tinest, whitest, and most 

 extensively grown sorts of the Pacific Coast . This variety displays great productiveness, vigor, and hardiness. It is a bear less, 

 white chaff wheat, with heads frequently 5 to 6 incues long, very closely set with large white kernels, frequently numbering 

 75 to 80 to the single head. Price, $1 per lb.; 3 lbs., $2..'0, t)y mail post-paid. In order to induce wheat growers to give these 

 new sorts a thoiough and universal trial, we offer $^250 in rREmuMS for the largest quantities grown from 1 pound of seed, 

 alflw for the 20 largest heads. For OHrticulars see circular. 



Bliss* Trtunipli. — .\n extra early variety, ri[>fning a week or ten days earlier than the Early Koee— and one of the most 

 attractive in appearance. Superior quality and very productive. 



Trophy.— A new and exceedingly fine, medium early, red-skinned variety, resembling the *'nowflake in appearance and 

 quality. It might with propriety be called a Hed-Skia Snowflake. This variety 'was exhibited in London at the great Interna- 

 tional Potato Show, in October last, and received a tirst-class certiticnte. Price of each $1 per lb.; 3 lbs. to one address, $2.60, by 

 mail, poet-paid. See potato catalogue.

 both varieties, but is earlier «nd more yjrorluctive. v,- pint packages, '/."ie ; Pi t, T6c.. bv nmil. po °'-pflid .

 or three weeks earlier than any otlier variety. At the great Tomato Trial in London, at the Horticultural Society's gardens. It 

 was the earliest of 60 varieties on trial, and received a first-class certificate. 15 cts. ner pkt. 



Acme. — This new and beautiful variety is one of the flnc-^t ever produced. Its rosy-i»urple glossy skin, fine symmetrical 

 form and delicious flavor, render it worthy of general cultivation. It is also a very early variety, surpassing all others in this 

 re»pect, excepting the LITTLE GEM. 15 cts. perpkt.; X t unce pkts., 75 cis.
