SELECTED SEED WHEAT. 



Improved Dietz Longherry Wheat {Bearded). 

 This valuable eaily wheat will do well on all kinds of soil. 

 Sown either early or late, it always yields a large crop of 

 choice high-grade wheat, even nfter hard, icy winters. It is 

 a very close chafled wheat, and holds the berry tight, so that 

 it does not shell out during the process of harvesting, hence 

 a saving of grain over many other sorts. It is one of the 

 most hardy and prolific varieties, and millers say that it is a 

 very desirable wheat, and it always brings the highest market 

 price. Peck, 50 cts.; bus.. §1.40; 5 bus., §6.50. Add 15 

 cis. extra for each 2-bushel sack. 



Improved Fultz Wheat {Bald). This variety is more 

 widely known in the United States than any other kind, and

 to a medium height, with stiff, strong straw, ripens early, and 

 seldom fails to make a good crop. Peck, 50 cts.; bus., 

 §1.40; 5 bus, §6. 50. Add 15 cts. extra for each 2-bus. sack.
