SUPERIOR WINTER SEED WHEAT 



Pedigree Strains — Closely Graded — Free from Rye, Cheat, Smut, Garlic or Cockle 



American Farmers sowing 



Common Wheat are producing 15 to 



18 bushels per acre 



TWO FACTS 



American Farmers sowing 



Seed Wheat of Pedigree Strains are 



producing 30 to 45 bushels per acre 



It costs as much to lay down an acre of Wheat that yields only 15 bushels per acre as one that will yield from 30 to 45 bushels. 

 The first scarcely returns the cost of the investment while the latter yields a handsome profit. In order to attain such results, sow 

 Henderson's Superior Seed Wheat, which is grown especially for seed purposes, from cross-bred, select pedigree strains of undoubted 

 superiority.

COLD COIN (Beardless) 



The increasing demand for the seed of this very popular wheat would 

 indicate it a most satisfactory variety over a large extent of territory. 

 It is unusually productive, having yielded over 60 bushels per acre — 

 while 50 and over is not unusual — and even on large acreages it seldom 

 runs under 40 bushels per acre. 



The straw is very stiff and does not lodge even on the richest land. 

 The head is long and compactly filled with choice white grain, fre- 

 quently having five kernels abreast. Sow \Yi bushels per acre. 



Price, $4.25 per bush, of 60 lbs.; 10-bush. lots, $4.15 per bush. 



JONE8 ST. LOOTS GRAND PBIZB WHEAT 



JONES' ST. LOUIS GRAND PRIZE 



(BEAKDLESS) 



This grand new Wheat has become a standard "rough and ready" 

 variety, being equally at home on all soils, thriving on light, sandy, 

 gravelly, clay loam or river bottom lands, and it is as nearly fly proof 

 as it is possible for a Wheat to be. It is a strong, healthy grower, 

 with dark, wide foliage, starting into growth among the earliest in 

 spring. Straw medium tall, very stocky and thick walled; heads 

 square and compactly set from base to tip; kernels short but very 

 large and plump; color medium dark red and of good milling quality. 



Mr. Jones says his field of it in northern New York was 



noted as the best field of Wheat in all of that section. 



Just as even as a floor. Every head standing erect and 



not a straw out of place. (See engraving.) 



Price, $4.25 bush, of 60 lbs.; 10-bush. lots, $4.15 bush. 



JONES' KED WAVE 



(BEARDLESS) 



After several years' trial this grand Wheat has fully 

 maintained the good opinion expressed when first sent out. 

 Customers in all winter Wheat growing sections know 

 that the Jones' Wheats wherever sown have made a good 

 record, and will be pleased to hear of this fine Bald Red 

 variety. It is a cross between early Red Clawson and 

 an unnamed crossbreed of Russian parentage. The heads 

 are very long and broad, filled with medium, long, large, 

 hard, dark kernels, rich in gluten. Straw, golden; above 

 medium height, stocky, very strong, thick walled and not 

 liable to go down; heads slightly leaning, hence not liable 

 to sprout in the field. This variety gave a yield of 49 

 bushels and 2 pounds per acre in a field, the balance of 

 which was sown to Dawson Golden Chaff that produced 

 only 27 bushels per acre. Sow 1}4 bushels per acre. 

 Price, $4.25 bush, of 60 lbs.; 10-bush. lots, $4.15 bush. 



Rural New Yorker— No. 6 



(BEAKDLESS) 



This beardless variety is a hybrid between Rye and 

 Armstrong Wheat, though all traces of Rye have disap- 

 peared and it now appears a handsome, beardless Wheat. 

 It succeeds and produces heavy crops on poor, thin land, 

 where Wheat could not be successfully or profitably 

 grown and it also has extreme hardiness to recommend it. 

 When first raised, some years ago, the top of the culms 

 was downy with Rye culms. This characteristic could not 

 be fixed, so that for this variety the culms having no down 

 were alone selected. The gold-colored straw is very 

 thick and strong, easily supporting the heavy grain without 

 breaking. The large amber kernels are placed four to a 

 breast, eight breasts to a side, with long symmetrical heads 

 having a brown chaff. One of our growers says: 



"It stools as strong as any wheat I ever saw. It had a 

 vigorous, healthy growth all the season, and stood well 

 without lodging. It is very hardy." Sow \}/i bushels per 

 acre Price, $4.25 bush, of 60 lbs. ; 10-bush. lots, $4.15 bush
