RUSSIAN AVHITE OATS. 



All the testimony we can obtain unites in consiilerinjr this new sort to he a 

 most desirable ami promising variety. They are said to yield about double 

 with tlie Probsteier Oats, a single grain <rivin<r sixteen stalks in many in- 

 stances; the straw is of extra quality, stiong and bright, and while other 

 Oals rusted, the Russian White was free from it. The.v are equally welV 

 adapted for general culture as any other sort, and from all accounts it is 

 safe to sav that the average yield is one-third more to the acre than any 

 other Oat. (Se cut.) 

 3 lbs. by mail. Sl.OO. By express or freight, $1.00 per halfbusli.; $1.75 per bush. 



WHITE RLJ^SIAN SPRING WHEAT. 



This new variety is not exactly a white, but is a li^ht-colored variety of 

 red wheat, and is an enormous cropper. It has already received the very 

 strongest commendation from tiiose who have grown it. It has long, 

 straight, strong yellow straw, and bears long and large white chart' heart.s, 

 well tilled with plump kernels, often weighing from 60 to 62 lbs. to the 

 measured bu.shel. It stands well alter being ripe, and it has shown itself to 

 be a wheat not liable to lodge or rust when green; and. it is further claimed, 

 that it has produced a full average crop where other varieties grown 

 alongside of it have failed. Under varying conditions it yields from 30 to 50 

 bushels from one bushel of seed.

Seneca, or Clawson. This is a smooth, white U'heat, with red chaff, and 

 the best variety experimented with, either .\merican or foreign, 

 being fully equal to the best brands of California Wheat. It proves 

 early and hardy, has a still" straw, and yields large crops on every, 

 variety of wheat soil. Bush., *2.75. 



EARLY AMBER SUGAR CANE. 



A new variety of Sugar Cane, which, however, has been largely tested in 

 many parts of "the country, with very general success. Its distinctive fea- 

 tures are saiil to be its earliness and great yield of both sugar and simp. 

 Culture the same as for corn. Qt.. 30c.; bush., $6.00.

 ttraw very strong. Bush., 32 lbs., $1.25. 



CHINESE HULLESS OATS. 



The berry comes from the heads as cfean as Wheat, without the least par- 

 ticle of hull or chair adhering. The grain is as white as Winter Wheat, and 

 the heads as large and white. These Oats should be sown at the rate of 60 

 lbs. to the acre, and will yield from 50 to 60 bushels per acre in good soil. By 

 mail, 40c. per lb., or 3 lbs. for $1.00; or, by express, $1.00 per peck. 



BUCKWHEAT. 



Silver Hullt This variety, after being carefully tested, proves to be much 

 superior to the common kind, sown at the same time as the com- 

 mon Buckwheat, it continues in bloom longer, matures a few days 

 sooner, and yields nearly double, under the same conditions. The 

 grain is of a beautiful light gray color, varying slightly in shade, and 

 the corners are much less prominent than in the ordinary variety, 

 while the husk is thinner. The Hour is whiter and more nutritious. 

 Price, per bu-h., $2.00; 4 lbs, by mail, $1.00.
