PETER IITENDERSON & CO., NEW YORK.—WINTER WHEAT, OATS AND RYE. 
67 
MWZINTER WHEAT—-COnNTINUED. 
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. 75c. peck, $2.50 bushel; 10-bushel lots, $2.25 bushel. 
Diamond Grit, or Winter Saskatchewan (Bearded).—A worthy rival at last to the 
Hard Spring of the Northwest, being superior to every known winter wheat for milling. 
With this grand seedling in general cultivation the winter wheat sections can compete 
with the finest grade of flour known, with the advantage of making more flour to the 
bushel than any other wheat as yet grown. This, with its wonderful productiveness, 
strong, wiry straw and sturdy growth, with extreme hardiness, cannot fail to make ita 
leader wherever givenatrial. Straw is of medium height, thick-walled and wiry, ofa 
light yellow color. Heads of medium length and carried nearly erect. 75c. peck, $2.75 
bushel ; 10-bushel lots, $2.50 bushel. 
Oatka Chief (Bearded).—A very strong grower even on light soils. Straw of medium 
height, sturdy and strong, but free from that harsh, wiry nature so common to the sturdy 
growers, and cannot fail to be appreciated for feeding. Beards light and short. Chaff 
white and very soft. Grain medium long, of light amber shade and of fine milling 
qualities. $1.00 peck, $3.00 bushel; 10-bushel lots, $2.75 bushel. 
Bearded Winter Fife.—A grand new bearded Wheat, which has all the splendid 
milling qualities of the celebrated Winter Fife, and is even hardier and more flinty in the 
grain. Itis one of the earliest wheats, ripening along with the Early Red Clawson, and 
is a very strong, healthy grower, stooling rapidly in the fall. It starts early in spring, 
and is among the first to head. Straw is strong and above the medium height. The 
heads are long and wide, with white velvety chaff. The grain is large, medium long and 
plump, and of aclear light amber shade. The bran is exceptionally thin, hence it will 
make more flour than almost any other sort grown. 75c. peck, $2.50 bushel; 10-bushel 
lots, $2.25 bushel. 
Gold Coin (Bald).—A very productive variety which in New York State has yielded 
over 60 bushels per acre and even on large acreages has seldom run under 40 bushels 
per acre. The grain is white, the head long and well filled, frequently having five kernels 
abreast. The straw is strong and stiff, and will not lodge on the richest land. $2.50 
bushel; 10-bushel lots, $2.25 bushel.

Winter.—We offer a remarkably hardy stock of Winter or Turf Oats which we have 
grown for six years past, being of about the same hardiness as Scarlet Clover. In 
favorable seasons it will winter as far north as New York, and is invariably hardy, 
New Jersey southwards. They produce a much heavier and longer straw than Spring 
Oats; stool thickly, are entirely rust-proof and never lodge. All farmers south of New 
York should try an acre or more. Sow 2 bushels per acre. $1.25 bushel; 10 bushels and 
upwards, $1.10 bushel. 
SSSj}j>S—_— ROY EL =. ES - 
Winter.—The variety most commonly cultivated. $1.10 bushel; 10-bushel lots, 
$1.00 bushel. 
Excelsior Winter.—A new variety from Vermont, that has never failed to yield at 
the rate of 40 to 50 bushels per acre. With the originator, a four-acre field yielded 52 
bushels to the acre. $1.50 bushel; 10-bushel lots, $1.40 bushel. 
Thousandfold.—Said to be the most productive Rye in cultivation. $1.50 bushel; 10- 
bushel lots, $1.40 bushel. 
Giant Winter.—Unquestionably the heaviest cropping Rye in existence, having in 
fair tests outyielded all other varieties both in straw and grain. The heads average six 
to eight inches in length and are filled from end to end with large, plump, heavy grains. 
The straw is giant in length and strength and of extraordinary stiffness, resisting severe 
wind and rain storms to a remarkable degree without lodging. (See cut.) $2.00 per 
bushel ; 10-bushel lots, $1.75 per bushel.
