Jones St. Louis Grand Prize NA/heat 



(BEAKDLESS) 



This grand 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. Everj^ head standing erect. Price, 80c. per peck; 

 $3.00 per bushel; 10-bushel lots, $2.90 per bushel. 



ST. LOUIS GRAND PRIZE BEATS ALL RECORDS 



"/ do not remember having told you before, of the wonderful success 1 had with 

 St. Louis Grand Prize Wheat. I purchased seed from you two years ago, which I 

 sowed on October l.Slh, rather late. 



"The yielr] was 61 M bushels of extra fine grain per acre, thus breaking all wheat 

 records ever made in south Missouri. "

Jones' Red \A/ave (Beardless) 



This grand Wheat has fully maintained the good opinion expressed 

 when first sent out in 1906. It is a cross between early Red Clawson 

 and an unnamed crossbreed of Russian parentage. It is a bald 

 Wheat with brown chaff, dark, medium long, large grain; heads very 

 long and broad, filled with medium long, large, hard, dark kernels, 

 rich in gluten. Straw, golden; above medium height, stocky, very 

 strong, thick-walled and not liable to go down; heads slightly 

 leaning, hence not liable to sprout in the field. This variety last 

 season 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 pro- 

 duced only 27 bushels per acre. Part of the first swath between 

 the two going into the Dawson for fear of stray heads of Dawson; 

 also raking adjoining, thus cutting the yield nearly a bushel. A plot 

 on trial grounds 13^ by 2 rods square produced at the rate of 68 

 bushels and 5 pounds per acre. Price, 7Sc. per peck; $2.75 per 

 bushel; 10-bushel lots, $2.65 per bushel. 



Cla\A/son Longberry (Beardless) 



This grand cross-bred Longberry was produced from the same 

 blood that bore the famous Red Clawson crossed with Longberry 

 stock. It resembles, in some respects. Red Clawson in the field, 

 but is a stronger grower and more prolific stooler, and has sturdy, 

 wiry straw. Heads long, wide and full; chaff, brown and free from 

 beards; grain, dark amber of the finest quality, large, long, and of 

 true Longberry type. Like its parents, it delights in strong clay 

 loam, and on such soil, with thorough preparation, it will often yield 

 fifty bushels or more per acre. It is largely grown by some of the 

 best Wheat growers, by whom it is highly recommended. Sow 1 }/2 

 bushels per acre. Price, 70c. per peck; $2.60 per bushel; 10-bushel 

 lots, $2.50 per bushel. 



Early Red Chief (Beardless) 



A very superior new Wheat, for which we predict a grand future. 

 It originated from Early Red Clawson and Red Arcadian. Without 

 doubt, Early Red Chief will prove a wonder in the Wheat line, being 

 a rough-and-ready sort that can be depended upon for a granary 

 fiUer even in unfavorable seasons. It is one of the strongest-growing 

 and most productive sorts yet introduced; its growth in the fall 

 is strong, foliage large, thick and dark, covering the ground early 

 in the_ season, and can be sown very late. It is one of the first to 

 start in spring. Straw exceptionally thick- walled; strong heads, 

 long and wide, carried erect, of a reddish-brown shade, completely 

 packed with large, dark red kernels. Price, 70c. per peck; $2.60 

 per bushel; 10-bushel lots, $2.50 per bushel.

Silver Sheaf Longberry Red (Bearded) 



It is one of the hardiest of all Wheats, a strong, healthy grower and 

 can be sown very late. If sown early, IJ^ bushels of seed per acre 

 will be enough on strong soil. Straw of light yellow color, medium 

 tall, thick-walled and strong; head long, wide and full; chaff thin 

 and silvery-white; grain large, dark and flinty, and nearly as long 

 as Rye kernels. {See engraving.) Price, 70c. per peck; $2.50 per 

 bushel; 10-bushel lots, $2.40 per bushel.
