 to the notice of Agriculturists, It contains from 7 to 8 per cent, 

 of nitrogen, in a form yielding ammonia by slow decomposition, 

 and is therefore particularly adapted^for Wheat. The quantity 

 required is 2 to 3 cwt. per acre drilled in with the seed. Price,

 Red and Tiny's Success, 

 name i variety has not so perfectly developed its 

 wonderful productiveness in the ears sent to us 

 as it did last year, but the sort called Tiny's 

 Success is certainly one of the most remarkable 

 samples we have ever seen. The ears carry 20 to 



24 spikelets, arranged at rather large intervals, so 

 that the whole spike is of remarkable 

 the spikelets carrying from three to 

 flore f s, we have on each stalk upwards of 80 well- 

 formed grains. 



Mr. Thompson did well to point out at the meeting 

 of the Yorkshire Agricultural Society that the differ- 

 ence between a good and a poor ctop lay more 

 generally in the number of grains yielded by each 

 ear than in the number of ears standing on a given 

 extent of ground, and it becomes theiefore of the 

 highest importance to choose sorts like the Bristol 

 Red and Tiny's Success — such as possess originally 

 the germs of the largest number of parts which 

 intelligent management during the growth of th 

 plant is able to feed and mature. 



General Arbuthnot has grown this year 128 acres 

 of Wheat, and on no former occasion, he tells us, 

 have the crops been so fine. Tiny's Success was 

 grown in a field much exposed to the north and 

 west, and although in its immediate vicinity whole 

 fields are beaten down, this field may be called 



a 



exception, scarcely any being laid. Many persons 

 have been to see it, and rarely has a field of 2G
