Bearded Winter Fife. 
A GRAND Wheat, the progeny of the celebrated Winter Fife crossed with two excellent seedlings. It retains 
all of the good qualities of the parents, marking a steady advance over the latter in quality, productive- 
ness and the flinty character of the grain. It is without doubt the hardest of all wheats grown. abn milling 
qualities it is superior, containing sufficient gluten for making quick-raising flour of chalk-like whiteness and 
light bread. It is one of the earliest wheats, ripening with the Early Red Clawson; a strong, healthy grower, 
stooling rapidly in the fall; starts early in the spring, and is one of the first to head. Straw a little above medium 
height, strong and wiry ; heads very long, wide and well filled; chaff white and bearded ; grain medium long, plump 
and of clear amber shade; bran exceptionally thin, hence will make more flour than most any sort grown. It is 
one of the heaviest-weighing sorts. It took the first place at the Kentucky Experiment Station over 17 other 
varieties grown under same conditions. (See cut.) 75c. per peck, $2.15 per bush. ; 10-bushel lots, $2.00 per bush. 
Henderson’s Superior Seed Wheat. 
It costs almost as much to lay down an acre of wheat that 
\\ | yields only 15 bushels per acre as one that will yield from 35 to 
‘ 
50 bushels. The first scarcely returns the cost of the investment 
while the latter yields a handsome profit. The leading essential 
needed to attain such results is to sow Henderson’s Superior Seed 
Wheat, which is grown especially for seed purposes from cross- 
bred, select pedigree strains of undoubted superiority. 
Gold Coin (Beardless). 
A very popular wheat that the increasing demand for the 
seed would indicate is a most satisfactory variety over a large 
extent of territory. Itis unusually productive, having yielded 
j over 60 bushels per acre—while 50 and over is not unusual—and 
even on large acreages it seldom runs under 40 bushels per 
acre. One of its enthusiastic users writes: 
/ “Tt is the best variety for yielding and standing up ever placed before 
the American farmer, and fairly crowds out other kinds where it has been 
tried in this section.”’ 
“Clawson and Fife do well on my farm, but the Gold Coin does best ot 
all. You should callit ‘Henderson’s Best of All Wheat.’”’ 
The straw is very stiff and does not lodge even on the richest 
land. The head is long and compactly filled with choice white 
grain, frequently having five kernels abreast. (See cut.) 
75¢. per peck, $2.15 per bush; 10-bushel lots, $2.00 per bush. 
Pedigree (€278see) Giamt.  (Half-Bearded.) 
This variety is truly a wonder in the wheat line for thrifty 
fall growth, early spring stooling, strong, short-jointed straw, 
solid filled head, fine, hard, amber grain and exceptionally 
fine milling qualities. On strong clay loam or river bottom it 
has yielded at the rate of 6014 bushels per acre, and stands up 
well under high culture. It isa cross from the old Genesee 
Giant, possessing ali of the good qualities of that famous variety \ 
when at its best. Itis stronger in growth, more compact in I 
head, and produces a verylargegrain. Can be sown very late I} 
with a certainty of standing the winter and gives an enormous 57 
yield. Sow late and use two bushels of seed per acre. (See cul.) 
$0e. per peck, $2.00 per bush. ; 10-bushel! lots, $2.25 per bush.
