FTER two years’ trial this grand wheat has fully maintained the good opinion expressed when first sent. out in 1906. Cus- 
tomers 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 now ready to send out. 
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 1910, will find 
it to be a profitable investment. It is a bald Brown- che aff, 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, GY 
thick walled and not liable to go down; he ads slightly leaning, hence ib 
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 f 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 rakings adjoining, thus cutting 
the yield nearly a bushel. A plot. on trial grounds 14 by 2 rods square 
produced at the rate of 68 bushels and 5 pounds per acre. Price, 90c. 
per pk.; $2.75per bush.; 10 bush. lots, $2.65 per bush.

These are both the result of upwards of twenty years’ tberouenly, 
scientific crossing and careful selection at the hands of the late Mr. E. 
Carman, the well-known editor of the Rural New Yorker, and raiser e 
many of the most valuable agricultural introductions of recent years. 
These two varieties have been selected from hundreds of crosses and 
varieties as superior in all desirable qualities. They have now been 
grown in most wheat-growing sections, and most flattering testimony 
has been received by us regarding their merits. 
“Bearded” Rural New Yorker 
(Number 57) 
has heavily-bearded heads which are beautifully symmetrical, being 
pointed at the tip, broad in the middle, and tapering towards the stem. 
The straw is unusually tall and strong and stools freely, frequently 
having 35 to 40 stalks from a single grain. The heads are compact, 
averaging three kernels to a spikelet or “‘breast,’”’ and ten breasts to a 
side. The kernels are of medium size and of an attractive color, 
between the so-called “red”? and amber, possessing the requisite 
degree of hardness for the production of the finest grade of flour, and 
is much sought after by millers. The chaff is clear “white, with a trace 
of velvet sufficient to make it difficult for the green fly to attack it, and 
the heads do not mildew as the full velvet chaff varieties are liable to do.

lots, $2.40 per bushel.

This beardless variety is a hybrid between Rye and Armstrong 
Wheat, though all traces of Rye have disappeared and it now appears 
a handsome, ‘eardless Wheat. It succeeds and produces heavy crops | 
on poor, thin land, where Wheat could not be successfully or prof- iy 
itably grown, and it also has extreme hardiness to recommend it. | H 
When first raised, some years ago, the top of the culms was downy Hi 
with Rye culms. This chaxacteristic could not be fixed, so that for

“Tt stools as strong as any wheat I ever saw. It had a vigorous, healthy 
growth all the season, and stood well without lodging. It is very hardy.”
