RUSSIAN WHITE OATS. 



All the testimony we can obtain unites in considering this new soft to i>e i 

 most desirable and promising variety. They are said to yield aiiout double 

 with the Probsteier Oats, a single grain giving sixteen stalks in many in- 

 stances; the straw is of extra quality, stiong and bright, and while other 

 Oats rusted, the Russian White was Tree from it. They are equally "well 

 adapted for general culture as any other sort, and from all accounts it is 

 safe to say that the average yield is one-third more to the acre than any 

 other Oat. (S'ecuf.) 

 3 lbs. by mail, $1.00. By express or freight, $1.00 per half bush.: $1.75 per bush. 



WHITE RUSSIAN SPRING WHEAT. 



This new variety is not exactly a white, but is a light-colored variety of 

 red wheat, and is an enormous cropper It has already received the very 

 strongest commendation from those who have grown it. It has long, 

 straight, strong yellow straw, and bears long and large white chaff heads, 

 well filled with plump kernels, often weighing from 60 to 62 lbs. to the ■ 

 measured bushel. It stands well after being ripe, and it has shown its-elf to 

 be a wheat not liable to lodge or rust when green: and, it is further claimed, 

 that it has produced a full average crop where other varieties grown 

 alongside of it have failed. Under varying conditions it yields from 30 to 60 

 bushels from one bushel of seed. 

 3 lbs. by mail for $1.00. By express or freight, 90c. per peck; $3.25 per bush. 



WINTER WHEAT. 



Faltz. a first-class milling Wheat. Bush., $3.00. 



Seneca, or Clawson. This is a smooth, white Wheat, with red chaff, and 

 the best variety experimented with, either American or foreign, 

 being fully equal to the best brands of California Wheat. It proves 

 early and hardy, has a stiff straw, and yields large crops on every 

 variety of wheat soil. Bush., $2.76. 



EARLY AMBER SUGAR CANE. 



A new variety of Sugar Cane, which, however, has been largely tested in 

 many parts of the country, with very general success. Its distinctive fea- 

 tures are said to be its eafliness ami great yield of both sugar and sirup. 

 Culture the same as for corn. Qt., 30c. ; bush., $6.00. 



OATS. 



Probsteier. The leading variety. It is very productive and heavy, and 

 straw very strong. Bush., 32 lbs., $1.25. 



CHINESE HULLESS OATS. 



The berry comes from the heads as clean as Wheat, without the least par- 

 ticle of hull or chaff adhering. The grain is as white as Winter Wheat, and 

 the heads as large and white. These Oats should be sown at the rate of bO 

 lbs. to the acre, and will yield from 50 to 60 bushels per acre in good soil. By 

 mail, 40c. per lb., or 3 lbs. for $1.00; or, by express, $1.00 per peck. 



BUCKWHEAT. 



Silver Hull. This variety, after being carefully tested, proves to be mucii 

 superior to the common kind, sown at "the same time as the com- 

 mon Buckwheat, it continues in bloom longer, matures a few days 

 sooner, and yields nearly double, under the same conditions. The 

 grain is of a beautiful light gray color, varying slightly in shade and 

 the corners are much less prominent than in the ordinary variety, 

 while the husk is thinner. The flour is whiter and more nutritious. 

 Price, per bush., $2.00; 4 lbs., by mail, $1.00.
