RURHL NEW YORKEa No. 37. 



Has heavily bearded heads which are 

 oeautifully symmetrical, bemg pointed at the 

 dp, broad in the middle and tapenng towards 

 the stem. The straw is unusually tall and 

 strong and stools freely, frequently having 

 35 to 40 stalks from a single grain. The 

 heads are compact, averaging three kernels to 

 a spikelet or "breast," and ten breasts to a 

 side. The kernels are of medium size and of 

 an attractive color, between the so-called 

 ''red" and amber. Possessing the requisite 

 degree of hardness for the production of the 

 finest grade of flour, it v.-iU be much sought 

 after by millers. The chaff is clear white, 

 with a trace of velvet sufiBcient to make it 

 difficult for the green fly to attack it, and the 

 heads do not mildew as the full velvet chafiE 

 varieties are liable to do. [See cut.) Si.oo 

 peck; $2. 75 bush; lo bushel lots, $2. 50 bush. 



RUfjRL 

 NEW YORKER Nb.B. 



This beardless variety 

 IS a hybrid between Rye 

 and Armstrong Wheat, 

 though apparently all traces 

 of Rye have disappeared and it 

 now appears a handsome, beard- 

 less Wheat. It succeeds and pro- 

 duces heavy crops on poor, thin 

 land, where Wheat could not be suc- 

 cessfully or profitably grown, and it 

 also has extreme hardiness torecommend 

 it. When first raised, some j'ears 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. {See cut.) §1.00 peck; $2.75 



bushel; 10 bushel lots, $2.50 per bushel. 



JOXES' LONGBERRY, I»fo. i. 



This new variety oft'ered this year for the first time will quickly take the 

 place of the popular Longberries now no longer profitable, through lignt 

 5'ield and weakened vitality. 



We are confident it will prove the most profitable Longberry ever known, 

 combining as it does strongest possible growth, strong gold colored straw, 

 long solid filled head, beautiful grain and is a champion m productiveness. 

 The straw is of such strength that it is not liable to lodge, even on strong 

 soils and river bottoms. From the fact that it is a blending of Red and 

 Amber Wheat in one berr}^ millers will quickly recognize its high milling 

 qualit}-. possessing as it does the requisite hardness for the production of fine 

 grade flour. A trial of this grand sort will convince any farmer of its value. 



Price by mail postpaid i lb., 6octs.; 3 lbs. $1.50; by freight or express 

 at purchaser's expense I2.50 peck ; §6.00 bushel.
