PETER HENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.—WINTER WHEAT, OATS AND RYE. 
WINTER WHEAT—CONTINUED. 
Pride of Genesee (Bearded).—One of the most productive varieties, having a long, 
well-filled head, and the fact that it will give a reasonably good crop on land so poor that f 
common sorts would be a failure, cannot fail to make it a popular sort, as the head does gi 
not decrease in proportion to the straw, being large and well filled on a very short, light ® ry 
growth of straw. 75c. peck, $2.25 bushel; 10-bushel lots, $2.00 bushel. N fi | 
Diamond Grit, or Winter Saskatchewan (Bearded).—A worthy rival at last to the \ 
Hard Spring of the Northwest, being superior to every known winter wheat for milling. 
With this grand seedling in general cultivation the winter wheat sections can compete 
with the finest grade of flour known, with the advantage of making more flour to the 
bushel than any other wheat as yet grown. This, with its wonderful productiveness, 
strong, wiry straw and sturdy growth, with extreme hardiness, cannot fail to make it a 
leader wherever given a trial. Straw is of medium height, thick-walled and wiry, ofa 
light yellow color. Heads of medium length and carried nearly erect. 75c. peck, $2.25 
bushel ; 10-bushel lots, $2.00 bushel. 
FPortyfold (Bald). Was first brought to our notice by one of the largest Wheat growers 
of Pennsylvania, who claimed it to be the best yielder among all the varieties he has 
grown. It is of very vigorous growth, remarkably hardy and stands severe winters and 
dry weather better than any other variety. It has very stiff straw and a large handsome 
white grain. It does well on all kinds of soil and is therefore a very safe variety to 
grow. 7dc. peck, $2.25 bushel; 10-bushel lots, $2.00 bushel. 
Bearded Winter Fife.—A grand new bearded Wheat, which has all the splendid 
milling qualities of the celebrated Winter Fife, and is even hardier and more flinty in the 
grain. It is one of the earliest wheats, ripening along with the Early Red Clawson, and 
is a very strong, healthy grower, stooling rapidly in the fall. It starts early in spring, 
and is among the first to head. Strawis strong and above the medium height. The 
heads are long and wide, with white velvety chaff. The grain is large, medium long and 
plump, and of aclear light amber shade. The bran is exceptionally thin, hence it will 
make more flour than almost any other sort grown. 75c. peck, $2.00 bushel; 10-bushel 
lots, $1.85 bushel. e 
Gold Coin (Bald).—A very productive variety which in New York State has yielded 
over 60 bushels per acre and even on large acreages has seldom run under 40 bushels 
per acre. The grain is white, the head long and well filled, frequently having five kernels 
abreast. The straw is strong and stiff, and will not lodge on the richest land. 75c. peck, 
$2.00 bushel; 10-bushel lots, $1.85 bushel.

OATS. 
Winter.—The stock of Winter Oats we offer is remarkably hardy, having been grown 
for some years past in Northern Pennsylvania, and are incomparably superior to the 
ordinary winter or turf oats of Virginia and the South. They are thoroughly acclimated 
and may be grown even north of New York City with safety. Sown in September they 
stool out remarkably and require but one and one-half bushels per acre. They have stiff 
straw, stand up well and are much more productive than spring oats. In spring if they 
appear to be frozen out, just wait, the roots are there underneath the surface and grow 
rapidly when spring really sets in. 50c. peck, $1.10 bushel; 10 bushels and upwards, 
$1.00 bushel. 
RYE. 
WY LCE ree variety most commonly cultivated. $1.10 bushel; 10-bushel lots, $1.00 
bushel. 
Excelsior Winter.—A new variety from Vermont, that has never failed to yield at the 
rate of 40 to 50 bushels per acre. With the originator, a four-acre field yielded 52 bushels 
to the acre. $1.50 bushel; 10-bushel lots, $1.40 bushel. 
Thousandfold.—Said to be the most productive Rye in cultivation. $1.50 bushel; 
10- bushel lots, $1.40 bushel. 
Giant Winter.— Unquestionably the heaviest cropping Rye in existence, having in 
fair tests outyielded all other varieties both in straw and grain. The heads average six 
to eight inches in length and are filled from end to end with large, plump, heavy grains. 
The straw is giant in length and strength and of extraordinary stiffness, resisting severe 
wind and rain storms to aremarkable degree without lodging. (See cut.) $1.75 bushel; 
10-bushel lots, $1.60 bushel.
