YORK-::- 
Often, through pressure of other work, the seeding of Winter Wheat is neglected until too late and 
is either not sown at all or results in failure. 
With the two varieties of Spring Wheat here offered, this difficulty can be overcome by Spring 
sowing. 
They are the best of the Spring Wheats, yield well, and the milling quality of the grain surpasses 
even the best of the winter varieties. 
Spring wheat is also a satisfactory crop to sow along with grass seed. 
WELLAXKAN FIFE. 
We consider this to be the best of all the Spring Wheats, being an improvement on the well-known 
and favorite Saskatchewan, having larger heads and grain, and the straw taller and stronger, with 
white chaff heads and dark amber kernels. The grain is very hard and produces the finest grade of 
flour, and is eagerly sought after by millers. It is enormously productive, outyielding all other Spring 
Wheats, and is invaluable for spring sowing where the Winter Wheat has been killed, or where it was 
not sown, owing to excessive drought or other causes in the fall. (See cut.) $2.25 per bushel; 
10-bushel lots, $2.10 per bushel. 
SASKATCHEWAN FIFE. 
The favorite variety in the great Spring Wheat sections of the Northwest, where it is much 
esteemed by the farmer for its earliness, productiveness, vigorous growth and freedom from smut and 
diseases, and by the miller on account of its unsurpassed milling qualities. $2.10 per bushel; 10-bushe} 
lots, $2.00 per bushel.

Has heavily bearded heads which are beauti- 
fully symmetrical, being pointed at the tip, broad 
in the middie and tapering 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 aspikelet or ‘‘ breast,” 
and ten breasts to a side. The kernels are of 
\ medium size and of an attractive color, between 
iy the so-called ‘‘red”? and amber. Possessing the 
requisite degree of hardness for the production of the 
finest grade of flour, it will be much sought after by 
millers. The chaff is clear white, with a trace of 
velvet sufficient to make it difficult for the green fly 
to attack it, and the heads do not mildew as the full 
velvet chaff varieties are liable to do.

This beardless variety is a hybrid between Rye 
and Armstrong Wheat, though apparently all traces 
of Rye have disappeared, and it now appears a hand- 
some, 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, 
without lodging. Itis very hardy.”

SPRING WHEAT. 
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. (See cut.) One of our growers says:
