RURAL NEW YORKER, No. 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 asingle 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, it will be 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. (See cut.) $1.00 peck, $2.50 
bushel; 10-bushel lots, $2.25 bushel.

the finest Seed Wheat I ever saw. 
Will you please inform me what 
machinery you usedin cleaning it?

"NEW YORKER, 
No. 6. 
This beardless variety is 
a hybrid between Rye and 
Armstrong Wheat, though 
apparently all traces of Rye 
have disappeared and it now 
IRIE appears a handsome, beardless 
tha Wheat. It succeeds and produces 
GIF heavy crops on poor, thin land, 
where Wheat could not be successfully 
or profitably grown, and it also has ex- 
treme hardiness to recommend it. When 
first raised, some years ago, the top of the 
culms was downy with Rye culms. This charac- 
teristic 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.

l I have received the 
Wheat, and it certainly is 
the handsomest I eversaw. 
I am delighted with it.

JONES’ LONGBERRY, No. 1. 
This new variety will quickly take the place of the popular old Longberries 
now no longer profitable, through light yield and weakened vitality. 
We are confident it will prove the most profitable Longberry ever known, 
combining as it does strongest possible growth, strong gold-colored straw, 
long solid filled head, beautiful grain and is a champion in productiveness. 
The straw is of such strength that it is not liable to lodge, even on strong 
soils and river bottoms. From the fact that it is a blending of Red and 
Amber Wheat in one berry, millers will quickly recognize its high milling 
quality, possessing as it does the requisite hardness for the production of fine 
Aerade flour. A trial of this grand sort will convince any farmer ofits value. .
