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 114 bushels per acre. 
Price, $5.00 per bushel of 60 lbs.

JONES’ ST. LOUIS GRAND PRIZE WHEAT 
JONES’ ST. LOUIS GRAND PRIZ 
(BEAR DLESS) 7 
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, $5.00 per bushel of 60 lbs. 
JONES’ RED 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 
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 11% *bushels per acre. 
Price, $5.00 per bushel of 60 lbs: ~ 
RURAL NEW YORKER—NO. 6 
(BEARDLESS) 
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: 
“Tt stools as strong as any wheat I ever saw. It had 
a vigorous, healthy growth all the season, and stood 
well without lodging. Itis very hardy.” Sow 1}4 bushels 
per acre. Price, $5.00 per bushel of 60 Ibs.
