LANCASTER-FULCASTER (Bearded) 



Lancaster-Fulcaster represents the development of many years of careful selection of the old 

 variety Fulcaster, which over a long period of years held first place as a big yielding wheat. 



It is a reliable yielder, year after year. In years when all conditions are against successful crops, 

 this variety makes good average yields in spite of adverse conditions. Farmers who have not been 

 successful in raising even fair crops of wheat on rather thin soils, should grow this variety, and pro- 

 duce a satisfactory crop of straw and a surprising crop of grain. 



The grain is of the finest quality, a genuine Longberry, dark red and hard and even on poor soils 

 the grain will be of full size. There is no wheat grown that is better liked by millers. 



Its extreme hardiness will carry it safely through severe winters and its vigorous constitution 

 withstands attacks of insect pests and diseases. 



In the Pennsylvania State College Experimental Station's four years' tests of seventeen varieties 

 of wheat, Lancaster-Fulcaster led all bearded sorts, yielding on an average of 33.8 bushels per acre 

 for the four years. Sow \}/2 bushels per acre. 



Price, peck 1.00; bushel of 60 lbs., $3.25; 10-bushel lots, $3.15 per bushel. 



LEAP'S PROLIFIC (Beardless) 



Leap's Prolific Wheat was originated about ten years ago in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. 

 Since then over one hundred thousand bushels have been distributed among the wheat growers 

 throughout the Eastern States. It has gained great popularity since its introduction. Reports from 

 various parts of the country give yields averaging from 35 to 40 

 bushels to the acre. These yields were produced not on small sample 

 trials, but on large acreages. It is extremely hardy, having survived 

 and produced a perfect crop after the fields were covered with ice 

 during the winter. 



It roots deeply and stools vigorously. It ripens early, with grain and 

 straw maturing at the same time. The heads are beardless, glistening 

 white in color, compactly built, filled with heavy, plump, grains from 

 base to tip, well enclosed, thereby protecting them from unfavorable 

 weather conditions and also preventing self-shelling when cutting. 



The grain is large, dark red of the Longberry type. The straw is 

 long, stiff and very uniform, yielding a large tonnage to the acre. 

 It is particularly desirable for its milling qualities. 1)4. bushels are 

 required to sow an acre. (See engraving,.) 



Price, peck 1.00; bushel of 60 lbs., $3.25; 10-bushel lots, $3.15 

 per bushel. 



RURAL NEW YORKER NO. 6 (Beardless) 



This beardless variety is a hybrid between Rye and Armstrong 

 Wheat, though all traces of Rye have disappeared and it now appears 

 a handsome, beardless Wheat. It succeeds and produces heavy 

 crops on poor, thin land, and it also has extreme hardiness to recom- 

 mend it. 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: 

 "It stools as strong as any wheat I ever saw. It had a vigorous, healthy growth all the season, 

 and stood well without lodging. It is very hardy." Sow \]/2 bushels per acre. 

 Price, peck 1.00; bushel of 60 lbs., $3.25; 10-bushel lots, $3.15 per bushel.

ROSEN RYE 



A New Large Yielding Rye That Thrives Well On All Soils 



This remarkable Rye is.extremely hardy due to its Russian origin. Rosen Rye was brought to its 

 present high state of development at the Michigan Agricultural College, where it has proven superior 

 to all other sorts in growth and productivity. 



While the average yield for rye throughout the United States is only 15 bushels to the acre, Rosen 

 Rye has yielded up to 40 bushels to the acre. The plant is extremely vigorous, producing a luxuriant 

 stiff straw from large stools. On account of its vigorous stooling habit only one bushel will be required 

 to sow an acre. 



The grain is extremely attractive, plump, and heavy. 



One of the principal merits of this valuable grain, is that it thrives equally as well on light soils 

 as it does on heavy soils. It has proved to be a dependable sort by producing large crops in unfavor- 

 able seasons. Sow IJ-^ bushels per acre. {See engraving.) 



Price, quart 25c.; peck 80c.; bushel of 56 lbs., $2.50; 10-bushel lots, $2.40 per bushel. 



GIANT WINTER RYE 



A remarkably heavy cropping Rye, having in fair tests out-yielded many other varieties both in 

 straw and grain. The straw is of uniform length, strong and of extraordinary stiffness. 

 Price, quart 25c.; peck 80c.; bushel of 56 lbs. $2.50; 10-bushel lots, $2.40 per bushel. 



WINTER RYE 



The variety most commonly cultivated, whether sown for grain, straw or cutting green. 

 Price, quart 25c.; peck 80c.; bushel of 56 lbs. $2.50; 10-bushel lots, $2.40 per bushel.
