BOWERS' SEED WHEAT, 



We expect to have by the 15th September, a sup- 

 ply of this justly celebrated white, seed wheat. It 

 is from the same farm, aud is the same variety we 

 sold last fall, which turned out so successfully in 

 quality and quantity, in some instances producing 

 double the quantity of other varieties sowed on the 

 same land, with the use of the same amount of ferti- 

 lizers. One gentleman, a large farmer, says he 

 would have made money by paying us Jive dollars 

 per bushel for all we had and sowing his entire crop 

 of it. It is a large, plump, full grain, free from rust 

 or other imperfections, and matures earlier than any 

 other variety we know of. Persons in want will 

 please apply at an early day.
