Seed Buckwheat. 



.T APANESE.— The plants are large and vigorous, ma- 

 turing their seed early, and resisting drought and blight 

 remarkably well, while the grain is much, larger and at 

 the same time has a thinner hull than the Common or 

 the Silver Hull. Owing to irs branching character, only 

 on°-half the seed is required per acre, while the straw is 

 much stiff er and stands up better. We recommend this 

 especially for well drained or sandy land, and the dry 

 climate of the western plains.

 sooner, and yields double the quantity per acre. The 

 husk is thinner, the corners less prominent, and the
