LANCASTER FULCASTER 



(BEARDED) 



Lancaster-Fulcaster is rightly one of the most popular bearded wheats. It represents the development 

 of many years of careful selection of the old variety Fulcaster, which over a long period of years held first 

 place as a big yielding wheat. 



Lancaster-Fulcaster is a reliable yielder, year after year. In years when all conditions are against 

 successful crops, this variety proves its reliability by making good average yields in spite of adverse con- 

 ditions. There are few varieties that will do quite as well on soils of average fertility. Farmers who 

 have not been successful in raising even fair crops of wheat on rather thin soils, should grow this variety. 

 The change will insure them against wheat failures, and produce a satisfactory crop of straw and a sur- 

 prising crop of grain. 



The grain is of the finest quality, a 

 genuine Longberry, dark red and hard. 

 An unusual feature peculiar to this variety 

 is that on poor soils the grain will be of full 

 size. There is no wheat grown that is 

 better liked by millers. 



The extreme hardiness of Lancaster- 

 Fulcaster will carry it safely through extreme 

 winters. It has a vigorous constitution 

 that withstands attacks of insect pests and 

 diseases. 



In the. Pennsylvania State College Ex- 

 perimental Station's four years' tests of 

 seventeen varieties of wheat, Lancaster- 

 Fulcaster led all bearded sorts, yielding 

 on an average of 33.8 bushels per acre for 

 the four years. 



Lancaster-Fulcaster ripens early and 

 produces stiff long straw with large, hard, 

 dark red grain. It is well worthy the 

 attention of any wheat grower. 



Price, $1.00 per peck; $3.00 per bushel 

 of 60 lbs.; 10-bushel lots, $2.90 per bushel.

(BEARDLESS) 



This beardless variety is a hybrid between 

 Rye and Armstrong Wheat, though all traces 

 of Rye have disappeared and it now appears 

 a handsome, beardless Wheat. It succeeds 

 and produces heavy crops on poor, thin 

 land, where Wheat could not be successfully 

 or profitably grown and it also has extreme 

 hardiness to recommend it. When first 

 raised, some years ago, the top of the 

 culms was downy with Rye culms. This 

 characteristic could not be fixed, so that 

 for this variety the culms having no down 

 were alone selected. The gold-colored 

 straw is very thick and strong, easily sup- 

 porting the heavy grain without breaking. 

 The large amber kernels are placed four to a 

 breast, eight breasts to a side, with long 

 symmetrical heads having a brown chaff. 

 One of our growers says: 



"It 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." Sow \y 2 

 bushels per acre. 



Price, $1.00 per peck; $3.00 per bushel of 

 60 lbs.; 10-bushel lots, $2.90 per bushel.
