Jones' St. Louis Grand Prize Wheat (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 and not a straw out of 

 place. 



Price, l 2 bushel, $2.25; bushel, $4.00; in 10-bushel lots, per 

 bushel, $3.75. 



Jones' Red Wave (Beardless) 



After several years' trial this grand wheat has fully maintained 

 the good opinion expressed when first sent out in 1906. Customers 

 in all winter wheat growing sections know the Jones' wheats 

 wherever sown have made a grand record, and will be pleased to 

 hear of this fine Bald Red variety. It is a cross between early Red. 

 Clawson and an unnamed crossbreed of Russian parentage. All 

 progressive farmers should give this sort a trial, as seed of this will 

 be in great demand as soon as known, and those who are fortunate 

 enough to have a field in 1912, will find it to be a profitable invest- 

 ment. It is a bald 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 

 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 produced 

 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 Takings 

 adjoining, thus cutting the yield nearly a bushel. A plot on trial 

 grounds \ l /i by 2 rods square produced at the rate of 68 bushels 

 and 5 pounds per acre. 



Price, $2.75 per bushel; 10-bushel lots, $2.65 per bushel. 



It costs almost as much to lay down an acre of wheat that yields only 15 bushels per acre as one that will yield from 35 to 50 bushels. The first scarcely 



returns the cost of the investment while the latter yields a handsome profit. The leading essential needed to attain such 



results is to sow Henderson's Superior Seed Wheat, which is grown specially for seed purposes.
