WINTER WHEAT. 



Prices on application. 



Fultz. (Bald.) A first-class milling wheat. 



JONES' "WINTER FIFE. (Bald.) The grandest 

 winter wheat, yielding 40 to 55 bushels per acre. 



Early Red Clawson. (Bald.) Very early. 



American Bronze. (Bald.) A strong, strawed 

 variety. 



Rochester Red. (Bald.) Medium early. 



Golden Cross. (Bearded.) 



Hybrid Mediterranean. (Bearded.) 



Russian Red. (Bald.) The best European variety 

 we have tried. 



EARLY GENESEE GIANT. (Half-bearded.) 

 The latest novelty in winter wheat, truly a won- 

 der for thrifty fall growth, early and strong 

 stooling, short-jointed straw, which stands up 

 well under high culture. Solid, filled erect 

 heads, fine hard amber grain, exceptionally fine 

 milling qualities, and the champion of all in pro- 

 ductiveness, yielding at the rate of 64 bushels 

 per acre under good field culture. 



EARLY WHITE LEADER. (Bald.) A peer 

 among white wheats. The most handsome in 

 grain of any sort grown, and in productiveness 

 second to no other sort. Tillers abundantly in 

 the fall, covering the ground with a heavy growth 

 of leaves, which act as a mulch through the win- 

 ter, and in the early spring it starts rapidly into 

 sturdy growth. It ripens early, is exceptionally 

 free from smut, mildew and rust, and does 

 wonderfully well under adverse circumstances. 

 It seems to be adapted to either valley, strong 

 clay or gravel upland. 



RYE. 



BARLEY. 



NEW WHITE HULLESS. A valuable new 

 variety, which should be sown at the rate of 

 1% bushels per acre, about the time of sowing 

 Oats. It is two or three weeks earlier than 

 ordinary Barley, grows about the same height, 

 and will not shatter in the field, even when very 

 ripe. The grain is not unlike Wheat, and weighs 

 about 60 lbs. per bushel, instead of 48 lbs., as 

 other Barley. For feeding to horses and hogs, 

 when ground, it is unequaled. 75c. peck, $2.00 

 bushel of 48 lbs. 



Vermont Champion. Two-rowed, early, hardy 

 and prolific. 60c. peck, $2.00 bushel. 



Two-Rowed Duck Bill. 50c. peck, $1.85 bushel.

 richest color. The ears are long and two-rowed. 

 75c. peck, $2.50 bushel.

have been winter-killed. $2.00 bushel.

DENT VARIETIES. 



Early Butler. The earliest yellow Dent variety 

 known, and has the smallest cob of any Dent 

 corn in cultivation. 



Hickory King, Largest grains of any white corn, 

 with cobs so extremely small that a single grain 

 almost completely covers the cob section. 



Early Mastodon. Early, with very large ears, 

 and can be confidently recommended as the best 

 of its class. 



Golden Beauty. Surpasses all in size and appear- 

 ance. 



Queen of the Prairie. In this latitude it has ma- 

 tured a crop in less than ninety days. The ears 

 grow 8 to 10 inches in length, 14 to 16 rows, 

 slightly tapering. 



Learning. Ears of good size, cob small, with large 

 grain. Early. 



Mammoth White Surprise. Specially adapted to 

 sections from Pennsylvania south. 



Farmers' Favorite. Ripens very early and suc- 

 ceeds far North, and produces unusually well, 

 even on light land. 



Chester County Mammoth. One of the largest 

 varieties. 



FLINT VARIETIES. 



Golden Dew Drop. Beliable for Northern plant- 

 ing as it grows quickly and matures early. As a 

 rule, the Flint varieties do not yield so well as 

 the Dent sorts, but Golden Dew Drop produces 

 two or three ears to the stalk. 

 King Philip. Very early. Usually matures three 

 months after planting. Ears large sized and 

 handsome, measuring 10 to 12 inches in length. 



Compton's Early. Yellow Variety. Very early and prolific. 



White Flint. Handsome ears, large and well filled. A good sort. 



Large Yellow Flint. Very productive and of good quality. 



FODDER CORN. 



Southern Horsetooth. Especially adapted for ensilage, and 

 yields a much greater abundance of green fodder than any other 

 variety. Our stock of this variety received a special award at 

 the World's Fair. $1.25 bushel. 



Sweet Fodder. This is better than field corn to grow for green 

 fodder ; being very sweet and nutritious, cattle will eat every 

 part of the stalk and leaves. $2.00 bush. ; 10-bush. lots, $1.80 bush. 



Two-bushel seamless bags, 20 cts. each.
