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, \ x /i 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 lead- 

 ing fancy milling wheat of this country. 

 (See cut. i 



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

 $2.40 per bushel. 



JONES' BEARDED 

 LONGBERRY 



(No. 1) 



We are confident that this variety will 

 prove to be the most profitable Longberry 

 yet known — it is the result of experiments 

 in crossing this type covering several years— 

 and we feel that it will rapidly displace the 

 old Longberries now no longer profitable on 

 account of weak vitality and light yield, 

 although their quality is the standard by 

 which all other sorts are judged. JOXES 

 BEARDED LOXGBERRY (Xo. 1) is a 

 grand variety and one of the most productive, 

 hardy and profitable sorts ever sent out. It 

 has made a record of 54}^ bushels per acre. 

 It has a sturdy, wiry straw of good length, not 

 liable to lodge even on very fertile soil ; heads 

 long, wide and exceptionally well filled, 

 bearded and of a rich brown shade; kernels 

 large and long, of an attractive blending of red 

 and amber, indicating to millers its high milling character and requisite hardness for producing a fine grade 

 of flour. Especially adapted for late sowing, giving large yields when sown in October. 

 Price, $2.50 per bushel; 10-bushel lots $2.40 per bushel. 



PRIDE OF GENESEE (Bearded) 



One of the most productive varieties, having a long, well-filled head, and the fact that it will give a reasonably 

 good crop on land so poor that common sorts would be a failure, cannot fail to make it a popular sort, as the head 

 does not decrease in proportion to the straw, being large and well filled on a very short, light growth of straw. 

 Price, $2.50 per bushel; 10-bushel lots, $2.40 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 1 Yi bushels per acre. 

 Price, $2.60 per bushel; 10-bushel lots, $2.50 per bushel. 



GOLD COIN (Beardless) 



A very popular wheat that the increasing demand for the seed would indicate is a most satisfactory variety 

 over a large extent of territory. It is unusually productive, having yielded over 60 bushels per acre — while 50 and 

 over is not unusual — and even on large acreages it seldom runs under 40 bushels per acre. 



The straw is very stiff and does not lodge even on the richest land. The head is long and compactly filled 

 with choice white grain, frequently having five kernels abreast. (See cut.) 



Price $2.50 per bushel; 10-bushel lots $2.40 per bushel.
