Bearded Winter Fife. 



A GRAND Wheat, the progeny of the celebrated Winter Fife crossed with two excellent seedlings. It retains 

 "™- all of the good qualities of the parents, marking a steady advance over the latter in quality, productive- 

 ness and the flinty character of the grain. It is without doubt the hardest of all wheats grown. In milling 

 qualities it is superior, containing sufficient gluten for making quick-raising flour of chalk-like whiteness and 

 light bread. It is one of the earliest wheats, ripening with the Early Red Clawson ; a strong, healthy grower, 

 stooling rapidly in the fall ; starts early in the spring, and is one of the first to head. Straw a little above medium 

 height, strong and wiry; heads very Ions?, wide and well filled; chaff white and bearded ; grain medium long, plump 

 and of clear amber shade ; bran exceptionally thin, hence will make more flour than most any sort grown. It is 

 one of the heaviest-weighing sorts. It took the first place at the Kentucky Experiment Station over 17 other 

 varieties grown under same conditions. (See cut.) 75c. per peck, $2.00 per bush. ; 10-bushel lots, S1.85 per bush. 



Henderson's Superior Seed "Wheat. 



It costs almost as much to lay down an acre of wheat that 

 yields only 15 bushels per acre as one that will yield from 35 to 

 50 bushels. The first scarcely returns the cost of the investment 

 while the latter yields a handsome profit. The leading essential 

 needed to attain such results is to sow Henderson's Superior Seed 

 Wheat, which is grown especially for seed purposes from cross- 

 bred, select pedigree strains of undoubted superiority. 



Gold Coin (Beardless). 



A very popular wheat that the increasing demand for the 

 seed would indicate is 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. One of its enthusiastic users writes : 



" It is the best variety for yielding and standing up ever placed before 

 the American farmer, and fairly crowds out other kinds where it has been 

 tried in this section." 



"Clawson and Fife do well on my farm, but the Gold Coin does best of 

 all. You should call it 'Henderson's Best of All Wheat.' " 



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, frequently having five kernels abreast. (See cut.) 



75c. per peck, S2.00 per bush ; 10-bushel lots, SI. 85 per bush. 



Pedigree (Jfenesee) Giant, (Half-Bearded.) 



This variety is truly a wonder in the wheat line for thrifty 

 fall growth, early spring stooling, strong, short-jointed straw, 

 solid filled head, fine, hard, amber grain and exceptionally 

 fine milling qualities. On strong clay loam or river bottom it 

 has yielded at the rate of 60*^ bushels per acre, and stands up 

 well under high culture. It is a cross from the old Genesee 

 Giant, possessing all of the good qualities of that famous variety 

 when at its best. It is stronger in growth, more compact in 

 head, and produces a very large grain. Can be sown very late 

 with a certainty of standing the winter and gives an enormous 

 yield. Sow late and use two bushels of seed per acre. (See cut.) 



75c. per peck, $2.25 per bush. ; 10-bushel lots, $2.00 per bush.
