It is an advantage to make plans and order the Seed before 
sowing season, for during the press of summer work, it is apt to 
be forgotten or put off until too late for best results.

Silver Sheaf Longberry Red (Bearded) 
The most perfect Longberry Red Wheat grown, and will make a 
sensation among wheat growers and millers as soon as known. 
This marvel originated from a cross between the well-known Ameri- | 
can Bronze and a cross from Lancaster and a seedling Longberry. 
It is one of the hardiest of all wheats, a strong, healthy grower and 
can be sown very late. If sown early, 11% 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. It will command the highest market price of any 
Longberry yet grown, and will be the leading fancy milling wheat 
of this country. (See cut.) 
Price, 80c. per peck, $2.50 per bushel. 10-bushel lots, $2.40 per 
bushel.

Jones’ St. Louis Grand Prize VVheat 
(BEARDLESS) 
This grand new wheat is destined to 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. We expect St. Louis Grand Prize Wheat to make 
a big record everywhere. 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. 
Price, peck, $1.25; 14 bushel, $2.25; bushel, $4.00; in 10 bushel 
lots, per bushel, $3.75. 
Jones’ Red Wave (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 114 by 2 rods square produced at the rate of 68 
bushels and 5 pounds per acre. Price, 90c. per peck, $2.75 per bushel; 
10 bushel lots, $2.65 per bushel 
Clawson 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 144 
bushels per acre. 
Price, 90c. per peck; $2.60 per bushel; 10-bushel lots, $2.50 per 
pane 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 
filler 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, 90c. per peck, $2.60 
per bushel, 10 bushel lots @ $2.50 per bushel.
